Last year, I requested to have all girls’ class, all boys’ class, and
mixed classes so I can evaluate the participation, dressing out rate, and over all
activity of the classes. The school has met these requests and I have started
documenting the levels of participation between the different gender groups. To
date, I have noticed similar dress out rates but participation rates have
favored the boys in all three settings. I have noticed a bunch of girls
together have become more of a gossip class that an activity class at times. So
far I see the boys only class having the better attitudes and participation
rates. Hopefully over time the action will take shape and my analysis will be more
understood.
