[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my favorite Mater Dei stories concerns dealing with a class of boys who appear not to be ready to settle down and take instruction. The instructor took them outside and had them run around the perimeter of the football field to get the excess energy burned off. It seemed to me to be a fantastic approach. That would never happen at a co-ed school. I'm not sure it happens at other all boys schools. Boys are different from girls and should be dealt with differently. Mater Dei gets that. [/quote] This would be labeled as ADHD at most schools and a call for therapy and psychiatrists from half of the people who post here. Good on Mater Dei for understanding boys and their energy levels in relation to learning. [/quote]
