«Help, girls are being favoured at our son's school!»

Talk to the teacher about your son's impression, without pre-judgement. My daughters always had the feeling that they were being abused by the school as tutors for the weak and lazy boys. Ultimately, both children's impressions will probably not be completely wrong, but not completely right either.

Unfortunately, life is not always fair. However, such minor injustices are an opportunity to strengthen your child's frustration tolerance. You can listen to your son and trust him to be able to deal with this situation. You don't have to do anything.

Before you open up the big gender barrel about the feminisation of school and the resulting discrimination against boys, I would keep my head down. If your son feels such injustices, encourage him to address them at school himself and as specifically as possible. Take him seriously, but don't turn it into a fruitless battle of the sexes.
