Why do some infant teachers hate boys?

My son's year 1 teacher just doesn't get boys. Apparently about four to five boys mucked about in class. As a result she decided that every boy in the class should miss golden time. All the girls got their full quota of golden time.

Its no wonder that many of the boys are very resentful and hate her.

This teacher complains that my son doesn't listen. My son wears hearing aids and finds it hard when there is a lot of background noise.

Even if all the boys were making the background noise, it seems harsh having a class punishment. I am sceptical that all the girls were perfect.

Stuffit it's not your fault, we pedants just can't help ourselves sometimes. (But you let "here here" go, further up the thread??!!)

Words can indeed be Weapons, DANCES.

interesting post though Dances. I think you're right that the whole strucutre of infants-level learning makes engaging boys - with 'active learning' or similar - v difficult.
