[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some examples of boys being “always in trouble”? What types of behavior are we talking about? If we are talking about behaviors that makes girls feel uncomfortable in the room because boys are being disruptive, I am not sure you have much of a case to complain.

Ps. Mom of a boy and a girl here. [/quote]

You would not need to ask this question if you have a boy at STP. If you do, and he’s older than third grade you could have one of the very rare ones that does not need a lot of physical activity or refocusing which is developmentally typical for boys in elementary and middle school. We are talking more about typical boys .[/quote]

Why not transfer to all boys, then? If your son's behavioral issues are developmentally appropriate then I'm sure admissions at Landon, STA, Heights, etc would be understanding. [/quote]

This is the point.  Most boys transfer out of NPS and St Pat's around 3rd or 4th grade.[/quote]

This is not factual [/quote]

Can't speak to NPS, but St. Patrick's 8th grade class of 2021 was almost exactly 50% boys. 2022 only had a couple more girls than boys. So unless somthing drastic happened in the last two years, yes, it's absolutely false.

IIRC they lose roughly around the same amount of boys and girls to the single gender schools that start in 3rd/4th. [/quote]

What is the turnover? Multiple boys can leave and new boys accepted. This would leave the gender ratio still at 50% with boys still leaving for other schools.[/quote]

There's no turnover like that.[/quote]

+1, and also why would those boys who come in at 3rd/4th/6th to take these alleged spots then stay through 8th? If it's truly a gender issue and not certain kids with behavioral problems. [/quote]
