I just re-read an article and cannot find the original source. Will keep trying...
"Traditional teacher training tends to cater to boys' interests and behaviors as a means of keeping classroom order. Boys generally act out their frustrations in a manner often disruptive to the classroom and need to be addressed to keep order. Girls predominantly repress their frustrations by withdrawing. Teachers may not notice that this is happening. Teachers' methods of controlling boys included making them contribute often."
I was wondering if anyone out there notes this with their own children or within their marriage. Any thoughts?
