One of the many troubling realizations from my year or so researching child education is that boys are systemically subject to contempt & punishment from teachers who perceive natural variation in behavior, very likely due in large part to sex, as a failure of personal characterhttps://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1168535361800278021 …
Slight improvements on the "personal character" model are increasingly in play — the medical model, with a shocking comfort with using powerful controlled substances on boys as young as 4 or 5, or the socio-emotional model, where scripts are used to suppress behavior gently
The problem is that these all *suppress* behavior. We're overdue for a mastery model that offers a framework in which natural tendencies toward energetic physicality and aggression unlock better and better play. Martial arts & sports are examples, rarely offered to the very young
The best opportunities for mastery don't rely on frameworks designed by adults, but it's difficult to get anyone on board with this. Throwing your little hellions outside until they've worn themselves out on their own terms feels like it belongs to an impossibly distant era
The prevailing view in education is that boys are fundamentally broken and need to be fixed.
