I think in general they are pretty quick to label boys as defective now, for being boys. Primarily because the schools are so heavily biased by way more over-representation of women in teaching and admi istration, increasingly the lazt 50 years. Boys arent girls but if everyone in charge are women, because boys dont act like girls, the women label the boys as problems. No, they need real straight men around as good role models and proper disciplinarians. But the women have systematically removed these men from educationa and taken over these places.
This is not an activity issue or a behavioral issue based on gender; my children and I process information differently from others.
Approximately 5% of the population are divergent learners; schools are structured for the 95%.
Retention, attention, and more can be impacted due to this information processing difference. I was considered a sub-par student in grade school because I have the same condition. By high school, I was in the top 1% of my class in all honors classes. College was a cake-walk.
I learned coping mechanisms before that was even a field of study. I notice things people don’t and can react quickly in any situation. The information overload can be overwhelming to young minds or lead to poor performance in a standardized classroom.
These kids should not be shoved aside.
