School Has Become Too Hostile to Boys

[Vladenschlutte]

<p>

Boys make up 67 percent of special education students. 80 percent of whom are black or hispanic. I find that a huge problem since special education kids are much less likely to meet any of the benchmarks of success.</p>

<p>Does anyone really think that boys are just that much more likely to have a disability of some sort than girls are?

<p>Males have a higher standard deviation of intelligence than females, this has been widely studied and confirmed. There should be more males in special ed programs than females. In fact, I thought the disparity would have been higher.</p>
