"I agree that once the child has been exposed to playing the "M" (mature/I believe over 17) games, they are not going to be interested in the types of programs that would be school appropriate. Many parents do not even take the time to…"

Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 13: [Video] Games Boys Play in the group Somers Point TeachersTracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 12: Thinking with a Boy Brain in the group Somers Point Teachers"The only conclusion that I came up with regarding the author's inclusion of this chapter, is that she basically discredits all of the brain based research. I found it very interesting that in the 1800's men tried to prove that women were…"
Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble With Boys: Chapter 11 Boys and Literacy in the group Somers Point Teachers"I found page 138 to be extremely disturbing. It says that, "kids need to get and stay at grade level (this I agree with); those who fall more than two grade levels behind in reading rarely catch up." "If a student is not reading at…"
Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 10 Good-bye, Mr. Chips in the group Somers Point Teachers"Societal roles and cultural roles may also be factors. In many countries, the men are often separated from the women and children, and the women are the primary caregivers. I know that when I went to Italy years ago, the older boys and grown men…"
Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 9 Notes from the Front: The Wilmette Solution in the group Somers Point Teachers"After we finish the book, we should have another meeting and create a punch list of things that we may be able to implement and/or share what we have already implemented in the classroom. I know that one of my students responds positively to playing…"
Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 7: Requiem for Recess: Yes, They Need It – More than You Think in the group Somers Point Teachers"When covering 1st grade, I also didn't like the idea of always taking recess away from the students who were misbehaving. Maureen P. at Dawes made a suggestion once about having the students lose their classroom jobs for misbehaving. This…"
Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 6 Kindergarten; the New First Grade in the group Somers Point Teachers"The title of Chapter 6 didn't surprise me at all. I feel that we do push our children to excel academically from a very young age and the children are missing out on many fun activities due to the fact that there is not enough time to get…"
Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 4: Preschool Blues in the group Somers Point Teachers"I also found it very interesting that there were no differences in performance among the three groups of children and that more of the push for academic preschools came from parents rather than educators. I found it to be sad that many product…"
Tracy Esposito replied to Lisa Litz-Neavear's discussion The Trouble with Boys Chapter 3: The Doubters in the group Somers Point Teachers"Females may have the better advantage while taking tests, as they do in the classroom overall, since they are the ones who are able to stay seated for longer periods of times and seem to be less kinesthetic than the boys are. I too started doing a…"
