“…Gilliam (2005) reports that boys are five times as likely as girls to be expelled from pre-kindergarten. In early elementary school they continue to be more disruptive than girls, and they also are less engaged in classroom learning (Ready et al, 2005;Zill and West, 2000). These gender differences persist through high school (Downey and Vogt Yuan, 2005;Dumais, 2005).…”

“…Estas expectativas pueden impactar en el comportamiento de los padres y educadoras hacia los niños pequeños, lo que se traduciría en establecer con ellos relaciones más desafiantes en lo cognitivo. Otra posible explicación es que las niñas entran a Nivel Transición 2 con mejores habilidades cognitivas (Ready et al, 2005;Soderman et al, 1999). Asumiendo que los niños entran a la educación parvularia con peores habilidades académicas que las niñas, y que los programas de educación parvularia adhieren a las mismas directrices curriculares para ambos, podría argumentarse que los niños, al comenzar la educación parvularia en desventaja, tienen más espacio para aprender en estos programas.…”
