[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is why is there only Girls on the Run and no Boys on the Run or Kids on the Run? Now our schools has a class for Girls interested in math and science careers. Why this specific focus on girls? All the studies I read say that boys have the most health issues growing up and fall the most behind in schools, but the only segregated programs I see cater to girls instead. Not that it is a bad program, but I don't see the need for all this segregation or at least would like to see a balance. Where are the classes or opportunities to help boys get interested in teaching, learn to cook, learning drawing, dancing, etc.? [/quote] There absolutely is a boys' program that is like Girls on the Run. It's called "Let them Run." You should ask about organizing it at your school. [/quote] Sorry. The name of the program is "Let Me Run." It's about the same price. It has a boy-centered curriculum. http://letmerun.org/[/quote]
