By “saving girls”, the Education system has catered to their needs; how about moving the pendulum

School house

…to reach back to now and start saving the boys in that same now sexist classroom (i.e, how many male teachers are left in the lower grades)?  Like realizing, contra the current Feminazi / Political Correctness that gender is NOT just a social construct, in that there are real differences between boys and girls?  Have we gone TOO far with teachers / educational system that boys be exactly the same as girls(reformatted, emphasis mine)?

News flash: Most boys are rambunctious. Often they seem like they’re in a constant state of motion: running, jumping, fighting, playing, getting hurt–maybe getting upset–and getting right back into the physical action. Except at school, where they’re required to sit still for long periods of time. (And when they fail to stay still, how are they punished? Often by being forced to skip recess–and thus they sit still longer.)

It’s not just an American issue. Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland recently tried to document whether boys actually achieve less in school when they’re restricted from running around and being physically active. They studied 153 kids, aged 6 to 8, and tracked how much physical activity and sedentary time they had during the day. Sure enough, according to a report by Belinda Luscombe in Time, the less “moderate to vigorous physical activity” the boys had each day, the harder it was for them to develop good reading skills.

But schools don’t care about raising successful boys. It’s all about grrl power now.

And it helps ADD, ADHD kids (I found this out the hard way, having two ADHD diagnosed boys) by extending recess – so what’s wrong with doing it “for the children”?
