Junior high school kids act like idiots in the presence of other junior high school students of the opposite sex? Who woulda thunk it?
I bet the builders of the pyramids noticed the same thing...
As opposed to when they are in the presence of kids of the same gender?
They're knuckleheads, no matter what, I should know, I was once in Junior High, myself.
Yes Jeff that’s true. There are problems with this though.
This time of acting out, is part of the process of growth. If you strip boys from all contact from girls through high school, when do they learn to socialize with the opposite sex? When do the girls learn to socialize with the boys?
You wind up with 18 year old young men and women that have a pre-school level of understanding when it comes to the opposite sex.
I believe that there is need of some sort of discussion, so that boys and girls could explain their thoughts to each other. It would help the boys understand the girls. Frankly, it would help the girls understand the boys.
There has to be something better than raising 21 year old adults that have only a couple of years exposure to the opposite sex.
This disconnect, stands a very good chance of destroying the ability of both sexes to deal productively with members of the opposite sex.
As it is sold, it also promotes the idea that guys are inferior beings. Is this really something we want to place on the boy’s backs, and into the minds of young women?
BTW Jeff, sorry if that made it seem like you were supporting something you weren’t. I didn’t mean to infer that.
