Teachers report that boys are difficult to discipline hard sitting down and focus on written activities.

2. Nowadays, discipline is the most
challenging tasks inside the classroom.
You can't teach effectively if your
students are not under control.
Managing a classroom effectively
keeps unwanted behavior at a minimum
and encourages learning for all
students.

3. Teachers report that boys are
difficult to discipline than girls. In
many cases, boys are having a
hard time to listen, to participate
and to focus on examination and
written tasks. In the classroom,
the boys were given tiny, almost
imperceptible signals of
significance over the girls. The
teacher usually referred to the
boys by name but the girls in
groups.

4. Boys and modern education are not an
idyllic match. An indoor-based day and
an early emphasis on academics and
visual-auditory (as opposed to hands-on)
learning ask a lot of a group that arrives
at school less mature. In their early
years, most boys lag behind girls in
developing attentiveness, self-control and
language and fine motor skills.

5. The relatively recent acceleration of the
pre-K and kindergarten curricula has
occurred without awareness that the
brain develops at different sequences in
girls and boys, Dr. Sax says.
On balance, the general consensus seems
to be that boys are more of a handful
early on, and girls more challenging
beginning in the preteen years.

6. Why boys have a hard
time sitting still, do not
participate in class and
are unable to focus on
written tasks such as
assignment and exams?

7. Boys are diagnosed with learning
disorders and attention problems at
nearly four times the rate of girls.
They do less homework and get a
greater proportion of the low grades.
Boys are more likely to drop out of
school, and make up only 43% of college
students. Furthermore, boys are nearly
three times as likely as girls to be
diagnosed with Attention Deficit and
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

8. What should you do
if you have a
behavior problem with
a student and the
parent refuses to
believe that their
child misbehaves?

9. When parents and teachers don’t work
together, everyone loses. Unfortunately,
this can happen to any teacher at just
about any time. If you have done
everything you can to build a positive
relationship with the parents of your
students and if a parent still refuses to
believe you or work with you, then you
need to speak to a supervisor or
administrator about the situation.

10. How do we help
boys close the
academic
gender gap?

11. To help boys close to academic
gap, we need the help of their
parents. The home environment is
the foundation to help
children/students to be attentive,
participate and to make good in
academics.

12. Here are some tips to help boys close
to academic gap:
1.Help him to recognize his abilities.
Focus on his strengths and help him
identify areas in need of
improvement.
2.Set guidelines and show him how to
balance “work and play time.” Be
consistent with helping him manage his
time.

13. 3. For the parents. Fathers can help
their son’s development by being
involved with the child’s schoolwork,
reading and supporting other non-
athletic activities
4. For parents. Have daily or weekly
check-ins with your son to talk about
how what is going on at school. Use
this opportunity to listen more than
speak.
