David Sadker, with late wife Myra Sadker, spent nearly thirty years studying the relationship of gender and learning and the interactions between gender and instructional practices, centering primarily on pre-collegiate education.
The Sadkers' most recent book, Failing at Fairness: How Schools Cheat Girls, is the result of their study of classroom practice across the country. Their findings concluded gender bias does exist in the classroom.
