[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the doodling, in and of itself, is not a big deal.  However, I wonder if those of you responding would be quite so relaxed about the situation if it was a boy drawing female anatomy and saying things like, "Close your legs," to a girl.  Somehow I think there's a major double-standard at play here.  If a boy were the one doing this, there would be a pages-long debate, accusing him of horrible intentions, being some kind of deviant, and insisting he be punished, reprimanded, you name it.

Why is it perfectly "normal" for a girl to behave like this, but a boy would be vilified if caught doing the exact same things?[/quote]

I don't think a boy WOULD get in trouble for drawing a giant penis.  The teacher might take away the picture, but anyone who has any business teaching middle school knows that the embarrassment of having an adult see it is worse than getting in trouble.

As for the "close your legs," I'm confident that PP is right.  Your son was sitting with his legs wide open, blocking the aisle.  [/quote]
