[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So [b]there is some literature that male students perform better at schools that have more male teachers and/or a male principal. [/b]I am a mother to a boy.

I'm curious if there are any Arlington County schools that have a lot of male teachers and/or a male principal?

The school we are zoned for is very female: I believe the elementary school has 2 male teachers in entire school and female admins at top (assistant principal and principal.)

I'm just curious....[/quote]

Links to this literature please?[/quote]

First, none of these articles would be considered research "literature." They are nice articles about ways boys learn differently. NONE of them say anything about having male teachers or principals, nor do they cite any research that supports OP's (not sure if PP is OP or not) assertion that boys perform better with male principals and male teachers.[/quote]
