[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom of two well-behaved (by all teacher accounts) teenage boys, the OP’s comment struck me because it often felt like elementary educators strongly favored girls to the detriment of boys. But I saw plenty of poor behavior by girls as well (Focus school).[/quote] +1 As the mom of multiple well behaved boys all throughout school I also agree. Tolerance for girl back talk and attitude is much higher than for boys.[/quote] I’m a different teacher (and also a parent of boys), but here’s the difference: when boys goof off in my class it involves wrestling and throwing things and hitting. When girls goof off it involves tattling and excluding others. I absolutely have to prevent physical injuries in my class so the boys are the ones I must focus on here.[/quote]
