OP - Though not a fan of Laura Ingram on the radio today when I happened to hear her in the car, she was talking about how disjointed schools seem today to be for little boys like they want to make them behave and learn just like little girls.  And noted that girls in general at all levels are soaring today. Boys can't necessarily sit from one period to another of instruction, and outside there is a difference in how boys play and interact with one another.  I would always advise another year in preschool for most boys so that they are just a bit more mature and able to "follow the rules" which do seem like they are just made for the little girls - be quite, stay in your place etc.etc.  We only had three girls, but after three girls, there were five brothers within seven years.  My Mother kept one back because of his immature behavior in the early years and today of the four brothers who are all dentists, he is the most successful.  Dentistry actually can be a very good profession for one who likes people and has a bit of ADHD as you are always up and moving from one patient to another.   It is a shame that there is not a special emphasis on boys in some programming today.  All five of my brothers went to a parochial boys school, which just recently, has decided to go down into the middle school grades, too.  It is not in this area.

However, I might add that you may want to consider a parochial school as a possibility which costs, but not nearly as much as private SN schools if there is one in your area that has good reviews.  Here in VA where we live actually 1/3 of the students are non-Catholic and the school is top tier, but the learning environment is so much more person focused.[/quote]
