I'm surprised it's legal to give out that information........ah, what am I saying - anything our government wants to do is deemed legal these days - damn the constitution.

If I were a parent now, I'd be pissed.

Quote:Beginning as early as kindergarten, the authors explained, girls have better average social and behavioral skills than boys, and that relates to girls’ higher average grades at each stage of school and why girls are more likely to earn a degree.
