Yep, boys are treated like β€œbroken” girls. Young girls just want to please everyone, including the teacher, but the boys just want to roughhouse and play more than sit still and work diligently, like the girls.

This is totally natural and expected, but the boys are drugged up so they behave more like the girls, instead of the teachers figuring out how to engage the boys differently.

The public school system is incredibly inefficient.

If anything good has come from the government closing the schools, it is that it has shown that the way school is currently implemented is largely a failure and waste of time.

Most of the kids that I know are able to complete a "full-day" of schoolwork at home in a couple of hours.

Maybe we don't need to make boys sit still for all hours of a day if the material and work can be covered in a couple of hours.

People always knew it was a failure. But bad parents want the babysitting, and usually free meals.

I remember elementary school where we had breaks and free time. Kill the man with the ball was a favorite lunch time game. I was shocked to see how kids were being treated in public school when my son entered, and that was twenty years ago.

We used to call that game "smear the queer". Good times

Yeah, you get a little guy who's cooped up and made to sit still, follow the rules all day, the kid is going nuts. Let him out, let him run around full speed, wrestle, tackle, burn off some steam. He's got something to be a good boy for and look forward to. He comes back worn out, cooled off, and ready to focus. These women running the show in the class and in administration now for decades just don't get it.

This is exactly what happens, my wife is a teacher and sees it every day.

On top of this, most of the teachers pushing ADD drugs have never had their own children, and are generally young ignorant leftist idiots. Their experience, education, ideology, and not least laziness, drives them to push for sedated boys who are easy to handle in the classroom.
