Years ago, when I was involved in a health and social committee, there was dialogue about the school system and what it did in terms of introducing girls and boys to things at age-appropriate times. You said that the majority of the primary teachers tend to be women and that there needs to be a bit of a focus on what they might want to do to help make the change.
When we were having this dialogue a few years ago, they were talking about those primary years. They're focused on colouring within the lines and doing small motor skills and a lot of finicky little things that perhaps don't fall into the area of interest for some of the young boys, who perhaps want to be kicking a ball or doing something a bit more gregarious. They said that things changed as they got a bit older. The girls were doing all of these quiet little tasks, and then once they got to be in about grade five or grade six, there was a shift in what they were learning. It then became more interesting to boys.
Have you ever looked into that study to find out whether in fact there is any connection?
