Lisa Battaglino Quotations

Of course there are differences in boys and girls, but I think those differences are hard to generalize.

As a result, a lot of girls go that path.

The belief is that girls tend to be better behaved.

It's very small, but this kind of consistent information would suggest the same with girls in writing and language. These minor results perpetuate the myths.

In preparing educators, although we look at the trends, we also look at myths and stereotypes. Rather than make sure boys get more attention in writing, or girls in math, we typically look at a group of students who needs more help in writing -- whether it's boys or girls.
