[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]K-12 education, since the beginning of medieval group learning by monks, was never meant to be accommodating towards non-compliant behavior. For centuries, kids used to be physically punished for misbehavior or failure to memorize their lessons. Nowadays, some people decry the chaos in classrooms where misbehavior is out of control and teachers are not allowed to enact consequences, and there are no suspensions or expulsions.

So in that context, OP, I would think twice about what your son might be doing that's different than your daughter. If you're sure he's not doing anything different, maybe his classroom's atmosphere or his teacher's control are different and require different measures.

But fear not. It is an established fact, proven by numerous interviews, including most recently an article in the New York Times, that boys are favored over girls in the college admissions process. This is because girls tend to be higher-achievers with better academic profiles, but to sustain gender balance on campus, colleges need to lower the bar slightly for male applicants.

So your son will come out alright in the end ;-)

Not all true with the admission process.  If you want to enter engineering, the chance decrease if you are of a certain gender/race.[/quote]
