Males have more problems as adults or do we hide the females?

[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 705040, member: 16024"] Totally agree! I think our public schools are doing a disservice to our boys, especially in the early elementary years. Many boys under age 10 are not able to sit quietly for long periods of time in a classroom filled with 20+ other kids. Distractions, noise, boredom, and the physical act of writing is often too much for many boys (and some girls). And what do we do about this? We drug them, punish them, withhold recess, separate them from their peers, label them, and (in some cases) this sets them up to hate school for the rest of their lives. This artificial environment we have set up for them, in fairly recent modern history, is not working for many of our boys. [/QUOTE]
