<p>momfromme: <i>Lots of gender stereotyping here.</i></p><i>

<p>Yes, I have one of those as well. His sister, the ADHD queen…not so much.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, I do see a difference in the gender bias to how it was when I was in school. Then, high achieving girls were the anomaly, because of course “everybody knew” boys were better in math, sciences, etc. Now my son is reporting to me that his teachers have much lower expectations for him and for his male classmates than for his female ones. That surprised me, but when I started watching interactions, he was correct.</p>
