[quote=Anonymous]Just happened on this post as a AA parent who has just gone through the 2012/2013 admissions process... Just looking at gender alone, I think that it has been well documented that boys are developmentally behind girls between 8-12 years old. There is an excellent book - 'Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys' that details the developmental and emotional differences that can impact a boy's experience in school. The book gives good evidence that these differences put some boys at a disadvantage in school and asserts that most educators don't truly understand the differences between the genders. Now add race into the equation and you get 'some' of the issues that AA parents have detailed so eloquently in this thread. [/quote]
