[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a rising 4th grader and there is something distinctly wrong with the boys in her grade at her private school and her age in the neighborhood (two very different groups). They are noticeably different from the boys in younger and older cohorts. I grew up in a house of brothers and boy cousins and cannot believe what I see now. I would not hesitate to describe them as absolute little sh-ts.

I know it’s a theory that’s been beaten to death but I really do believe that parents of this age of kids (prek and then K during the pandemic) basically gave boys iPads and video games in 2020 and disappeared from their lives except to pop up at competitive sports events. And now those same parents chuckle at it from a distance like their kids are just cute naughty toddlers, not [b]9 and 10 year old boys swearing, getting angry about anything even remotely competitive that they don’t win, and using homophobic and misogynistic language. [/b]School can’t do anything and parents won’t do anything, and it’s really hard for a “village” of coaches, neighbors and friends to push back when so many parents are complicit or complacent.[/quote]

And if this was the behavior OP was subjected to she’d have a point.  But OP’s complaints are just ridiculous.[/quote]
