Article here. Excerpt:
'Recent studies are revealing that young boys are being discriminated against in schools and being graded unfairly because of how their active nature is perceived by teachers.
It is no secret that boys tend to be very hyper active at a young age. While most girls are happy doing whatever task is handed to them, boys often can’t focus unless they are given the opportunity to run around a bit and let out all that built up energy.
While their active nature is perfectly innocent, researchers believe teachers are discriminating against them unfairly.
The problem appears to be that teachers are interpreting being active as being “bad” and punishing young boys for not cooperating or behaving well in a classroom environment.'
