[quote=Anonymous]26 years of secondary school teaching. Mainly grade 7, but I’ve taught everything from 6-12. Girls have seldom been disruptive. I can think of three. However, they quietly do devastating things to themselves and each other. The disruptive boys generally do not encounter any structure outside of school. They live in households where rules don’t exist. There might not be consequences (boys will be boys) or there may be random and capricious punishments without any explanation what the infraction was. They never see self-discipline or self-reflection modeled at home. They crave stimulation and escape from things they feel they are bad at. Free online games are often the only thing they can do to self-medicate.[/quote]
