[quote=Anonymous]My DD does robotics on increasingly male teams as the kids get older. Sometimes there are only 1 or 2 other girls. Sometimes she’s the sole female. It’s rough. New boys assume she’s incompetent. Some veteran boys know she’s not, but they resent her presence on the team or act that way to fit in. Coaches seldom intervene. Some coaches and other parents told us they were surprised she hasn’t dropped out. I think more than a few are glad she didn’t, but the culture of the teams isn’t improving. Every time a girl drops out or doesn’t return the next time, the boys are harder on my DD. My DD not only has to be as good as the boys, she has to have a thick skin. Imagine being one of only 2-3 girls in the TPMS Magnet if there was no balancing for gender. [/quote]
