[quote=Anonymous]Boys get punished more thwn girls in K. They just have more trouble than most girls adjusting to the behavior standards of K. All three of my kids are in elementary and middle school. Whem they were in K, every time I visited the classroom for any reason (parent night, reading day, class party, etc) the stoplight/school bus/turtle behavior chart would have several boys on red, maybe one or two girls plus a half dozen boys on yellow, and most of the girls plus two or three of the boys on green. This is in different states, different teachers and different experience levels of teachers. Whenever this topic has come up with other parents who have various aged kids, they all say the same thing about their boys kindergarten experiences. By the end of the year most of the boys manage to make it to mostly yellow and green, but there are always a few that are perpetually on red. It is sad to see and not the right method in my opinion.[/quote]
