[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering most college students are women and most college drop outs are men, I don't really expect to see this reverse any time soon.  Most of the jobs that men fell back to are becoming automated so that they need fewer humans doing the same amount of work.

At this point, I think it might be prudent to figure out a solution to these problems.  Maybe start all boys in Kindergarten at 6 or 7 instead of 5 or 6.  Then by the time they reach college they can actually be mature enough to complete it.[/quote]

Have you thought about the impact this will have on the girls who are 5 and 6 in kindergarten? Or ready to be in kindergarten at 5 and 6. We don't want our girls to have to wait on your boys, or be bullied by your older boys. My girls were ready to start K at 5, and my first grader especially is in class full of boys who turned 7 before winter break and it's just a mess. Boys starting Kindergarten later is NOT the answer, trust me.[/quote]

DP.  Actually, I think there's merit to the idea of some children, some boys and a few girls, starting school later, at 7 or 8.  Not kindergarten, they would start in 2nd or 3rd grade.  This would mean that someone, parent or older sibling, would have taught them to read and do addition and subtraction first.  My boys would have benefitted from that, more maturity, before starting school.

It would be difficult though, probably prohibitively difficult.[/quote]

You think?  :roll: We don’t live in Sweden. This country barely gives maternity leave and doesn’t offer pre-k but you think it’s going to change its paradigm so that boys can start school at 7 or 8? [/quote]
