[quote=Anonymous]Boys excelled when our education system was MUCH more rigid than it is now. American schools have never allowed as much movement and interaction as they do now. Little boys are not forced to sit in rows and have their hands smacked by rulers for making a peep anymore. Yes, all of them need more recess, but fortunately lawmakers figured that out and reversed the worst of the trends away from it. So I honestly don’t understand the “boys are failing because our education system is set up for girls and the expectations for boys are too high.” It was LITERALLY only for boys for generations, and the allowances made for “active boys” have only increased. Other countries that have not made these changes still have boys excelling. So what else could be happening here? Or do we need to go back to the good old days of hitting wiggly children? [/quote]
