[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could have happened with “bossy” girls too. I’d keep the boy vs girl out of the conversation and say can you help my daughter insert herself better into the process.[/quote]

Ugh. Dp.  I hate,hate hate when girls are called bossy and boys are leaders.  Why ignore the elephant in the room.  It is a boy thing.  Would you the say the same thing if ot was a race thing.  Ie white kids keeping a poc from the project?

Because it's not a boy thing or a race thing.  It's a personality thing.[/quote]. As a middle school math teacher with 18 years of experience, it's a boy thing.  I go to great lengths teaching boys, especially east Indian boys what it means to be a member of a group product.  I watch and listen for growth in participating and accepting other's ideas.  They get plenty of scaffolding before I start deducting points.

Taking over is a boy thing. [/quote]

But being passive, bring willing to allow boys to take over is not a girl thing?[/quote]
