[b]At our private non-DMV[/b], the women are doing really well but they are extremely motivated, organized and prepped for this since grade 9. [b]The boys seem to be a year or more behind developmentally.[/b]

How could that possibly be unless your private school has a very diverse economic student body (like many parochial schools).

You don't see boys at Sidwell or GDS or STA or Maret or really any private schools with large %ages of UMC kids being "a year or more behind developmentally".[/quote]

Is your DC at a private school and do you have first-hand experience in one of the schools you name? It sounds like you don't.

It's common for male executive function to lag female executive function developmentally. This can be googled. The male students typically "peak" later than female students. Even if they are wealthy or UMC. This has nothing to do with parachial schools or being "diverse". White males from wealthy backgrounds also lag female students developmentally. [/quote][/quote]
