Can't... stop... laughing. Too... funny!
My ribs hurt.
At first, I thought it was kinda sad because a man wrote this. But that one paragraph says it all.
His point: keep those nasty filthy boys away from my little angels. They'll corrupt them!
The dude can't deal with the fact that his daughters are growing up and are apparently heterosexual so he pulls bullshit out of his ass to justify his insecurities.
The insecurities are normal and I would've had some sympathy for him if it hadn't been for this article.
From my experience, it's not the gender that's the main issue. There's hormones in the air, but if you go out onto a public street it's going to be there, so I don't see how it's the school's fault.
When it comes to disruptive behavior and academic failure, it's not the student's gender at fault. Boys and girls have different ways of being rude, disruptive bullies, but they come in equal numbers.
If we're going by stereotypes, let's put it this way. Girls prefer verbal methods. Boys prefer physical methods. Girls bully other girls by spreading rumors and talking down. Boys bully other boys by shoving them into lockers and dunking their heads in toilets. Boys like to irritate girls with toilet humor. Girls like to use excessive "interest" to freak out boys.
Both boys and girls can be assholes. It's more an individual personality thing. Boys and girls can be equally uninterested in education. Reasons may vary. Some girls may do it because they were taught that a girl's brain doesn't matter, but would that school of thought go away in an all-girls' school? I doubt that. Boys and girls have an equal capacity for disliking academically superior peers and trying to make things worse for said peer in the classroom to satisfy some inner jealousy.
If this guy wants to put his daughters in an all-girl school, then he should just shut up, do it, and leave us alone. I can guarantee that it won't solve the real "boy" problems and it won't make them more studious, but that's his problem not mine.
Meanwhile, he should try taking a step back to realize that he's just insulted his own gender.
