This ties into the parents' reaction to school structure and red shirting for social development. I agree that she is generalizing but the blog piece is interesting. I have to question her reasoning when it comes to girls and the goody two shoes concept... I fear that she is over generalizing that to make her point about schools failing boys. Girls are clearly at risk for their reverse behavior of trying to fit in and taking on the role of the goody two shoes which can lead to the dummying down issues.

Thanks for posting it.
