In the “old days” children were not expected to be “gender neutral” in public schools, solely for the convenience of their teachers.
Boys were encouraged to expend their energy in physical activity, and then focus on subjects.
Girls were encouraged to take a break from focusing on subjects, and exert energy on physical pursuits.

Nobody needed drugs.

And back in the old days, nobody was stupid enough to think little boys and little girls should be forced to react in ways that were convenient to their teachers, but against human nature.
Poor teachers!
If they could gain the power to force their students to uniformly comply, the job of teaching the little brats would be soo much easier!

Yes. Meanwhile, why is a 5-yo boy being forced to sit quietly in a chair as if he were a compliant 9-yo girl? Most 5 -yo boys just are not ready for the government school routine of “shut up and obey my orders.” It takes time to break their spirit.

Mama needs to be home for her son, and son needs to have a full-time father to help him expend some of that NORMAL boy energy.

oh, and cop needs to find another line of work.

One middle school has banned any sports with “balls” cause a parent on the sidelines got hit in the head with a flying ball...I give up.
