[quote=Anonymous]I actually didn't realize this was an issue until we saw how teachers treated boys and girls online during covid time. Both my boys are fairly quiet so they rarely if ever get in trouble, but there was definitely a difference in treatment for the same types of behaviors, from both male and female teachers that we observed. As my kids get older and are in high school, they see less of this in class but can recount numerous times how they felt the male peers were more likely to get called out for the same types of infraction. For the girls, the teachers seem to view any sassiness as leadership and for the boys it was considered nuisance and rude. Kinda strange that this is the reverse of what we stereotypically consider the case in the current upper management workforce. Maybe the pendulum is starting to swing the other way. I just hope it's not swinging too far over.[/quote]
