We homeschooled and when my very squirmy, active son was having a bad day, I would have him run a few laps around our 1/3 acre property. Surprisingly, he became quite teachable.

The elephant in the room here is that boys and girls learn in different ways and need different teaching methods. The public schools have decreed that not to be the case and are trying to force a one size fits all curriculum on school kids, and it's never going to work.

“The elephant in the room here is that boys and girls learn in different ways and need different teaching methods.”

I referred to this in another post also. The documentary “Raising Cain” is all about the difference in how boys and girls learn. It was a little Liberal for my tastes, but still full of good information.

I can’t see how that’s true. 1 size-fits-all seemed to work just fine for generations before the hippies mucked it all up. Heck, it used to be even children of wildly different AGES were grouped together (albeit learning different parts). We had much better results then.

The difference? Discipline. Serious. In home as well as school - if even needed in the latter.
