[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only backlash you'll get from me, a mom of two boys who was/is a tomboy herself if the label of "feminized." The highly formalized super controlled environment is to me a capitalist tool- become a good little worker drone, and learn to accept the rules at a young age. I don't see it as male/female but powerful/subjugated. [/quote] The hyper-conformity of expectations of children in this area, particularly in well-to-do NW DC and Montgomery County, puts a lot of pressure on parents and children alike. Whatever their gender. That said, the lop-sided incidence of "ADHD" diagnoses among boys suggests that all is not well in the classroom. In some of my kids' classes, more than half the boys are being treated for "ADHD." Can't be. It is Orwellian.[/quote]
