This! Elementary school are now designed for female students. Quiet, calm, obedient girls are rewarded, while high energy boys are sanctioned. (I know - I have one of each). It’s night and day. We need more male teachers in elementary ed, and more physical outlets throughout the day. Red shirting kindergarten boys, and more involved dads help as well.

You are delusional. Public elementary classrooms are more disruptive and wilder than ever. Misbehavior is rampant. Gone are the days of well-behaved kids sitting quietly at their desks while the teacher instructs from the front. This is no longer the expectation. And no one is “sanctioned” that’s for sure. The bad behavior just keeps on keeping on.

Girls are more organized and have been executive function in the teen years than boys- which is why they do better with college admissions. But the boys still end up getting the better and higher paying jobs later on.

I sometimes wonder if this generation of girls will start dating each other. They are spending their late teens and early 20's completely celibate because of lack of any opportunity and yet they have sex drives, etc.

I think many of them are actually doing this

I don't think you realize that a lot of boys are held back already. Son is a late May birthday. Knows two kids that share his birthday and both were held back. He knows one boy in his grade that his younger than him. One of his friends in his grade is older than his older brother who is a grade above him.

It will eventually catch up. Women are outnumbering men in both medical school and law school. It’s just finance and engineering that hasn’t been cracked yet.

Many of the colleges my daughter is looking at have way more girls than boys and this concerns her.

My now husband went to Loyola Chicago and loved the lopsided ratios

This thread is so depressing. My DD is excited to go to college next year and date men not her girlfriends. She doesn't want to "share" a guy with her girlfriends or be celibate.

Is she open to dating someone that didn’t go to college?

So many gay guys.
Very few dating eligible and every girl likes the same guy.

For every 10 straight girls, it’s 7 guys (2.5 of which are gay).

If your dd is seeking gay girls, a women's college is the place to be! The percent of gay/bi is astounding high.

According to dd and my mom friends with kids at many different schools, the only girls dating in college are those still with hs boyfriends.

It really feels like the only girls who will ever date are those who have a BF from high school. Nobody breaks up and nobody starts dating in college.
