I think this whole discussion of how boys and girls behave in school is a wild goose chase. Even if girls tend to be, on the whole, more well behaved in school than boys, that doesn't mean that expecting both girls and boys to behave themselves equates to "making boys act like girls." It's a stupid and lazy framing. And, really, what's the alternative - letting boys be disruptive while keeping girls in line?
It's f**king ridiculous.

Yeah, and girls brush their teeth. Why is my dentist trying to feminize me?
