[quote=Anonymous]I am a mom to 2 boys and I think much of school (I am Arl Co., but don't think it is just this Co.) is geared toward females. There is a wealth of info that supports our schools systems favor females. There is a female drain at the University level so much so that many schools will try to balance gender ratios at admission time. Increased teaching to the test, sitting for long time periods, shortened recess and athletic times, female facutly favoring female students (maybe not consciously), limiting boy-type of activities on the playground--no touch rules, no tag, etc. My kids are elem. so I can't speak to any Arlington middle schools other than to generalize that it is that way at most public schools.[/quote]
