[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we think upwards of 25% of boys are labeled as ADHD in elementary school? They grow up in an environment built for girls for 7 hours a day and are medicated to stay quieter. Our society no longer understands or appreciates little boys and this is the natural outcome. [/quote]

This is such a BS argument.  Schools are not and never were built for girls.  Schools are even LESS demanding than they were 100+ years ago when most girls were excluded past a certain age.

You are arguing that the observation that girls do better on the whole than boys means clearly the school environment is biased toward girls.  This is both incredibly wrong and blatantly sexist.[/quote]

I’m talking about the early grades. Which in fact now are much more sit down , learn, less play, less singing, less recess time than they were 50 years ago. Or even 30. And girls as a whole do fine , but boys as a whole do not. [/quote]

This is not true.  You are just making things up because it feels right to you.[/quote]

I actually have some interesting links about if if you’re interested

I scanned all three links and none seem to support the claim that schools are built for girls.  All three seem to focus on the fact that girls tend to do better than boys in school settings, therefore something is obviously wrong with the schools (because boys *should* be better or at least not worse than girls at everything, right?)

But it doesn’t address the fact that children, including and in the past overwhelmingly boys, have ALWAYS been expected to sit still, to focus, to read, to respect their teachers while in school.  Standards for behavior today are on the floor and parents are making every excuse under the sun for why boys suddenly find themselves unable to meet those standards.[/quote]
