Boys and Girls Response

I really enjoyed the presentation today about the book, "Boys and Girls Learn Differently." You had some good information, and the hands on activities were fun and educational. I really liked the discussion we had on the different topics. I can see how uniforms/a dress code could bring down the level of teasing in a school, but I just feel like it isn't worth the suppression of student expression and I feel like it will not help to mask a student's SES. It was great to have the conversation though, because it helped to develop all of our philosophy.
The only criticism I have is something you recognized during the presentation, that we didn't talk much about how boys and girls learn differently. In the future groups may want to break up the reading by having someone whose interested in Ele. Ed. read that portion, a Sec. Ed. read that portion, etc etc. That way you could have shared more knowledge and maybe gotten that background info that seemed to be missing. That would also have given you more information to present, as it seemed you were heavy on the hands-on and short on the information.
Overall, I enjoyed the presentation (and winning at the human knot!).
