識女仔的理由

From Yahoo! News:

Hanging out with girls can make you smarter--if you're a preschool boy
Posted Thu, Jun 26, 2008

Forget the educational toys. If you want to give your son the developmental edge, enrol him in a preschool program where there are lots of preschool girls. Merely hanging out with an abundance of preschool-aged females will encourage his social, cognitive, and motor skills development.

That's the key finding from a study conducted by psychologist Arlen Moller of Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania and published online in Early Childhood Research Quarterly ("The developmental influence of sex composition in preschool classrooms: Boys fare worse in preschool classrooms with more boys").

Moller's research indicates that preschool-aged boys who are attend preschool programs in which the majority of their classmates are girls tend to achieve far greater social, cognitive, and motor skills gains than preschool-aged boys who are enrolled in programs in which the majority of their classmates are boys.

She also noted that the gender composition of the classroom didn't affect the girls' development, positively or negatively. Girls tended to achieve at the same rate whether their class was made up of mainly boys or mainly girls.

The study is significant because it indicates that offering all-boy or all-girl programs would not provide any benefits to preschoolers. Boys would be impacted negatively and girls would not benefit from such programs. So while some research has indicated that there can be benefits to education boys and girls separately during the upper grades, no such case can be made for launching a boys-only or girls-only preschool. Everyone can head back to the sandbox and get on with their play.

咁得啦！阿仔咁鐘意同女仔玩，佢應該會更識做人㗎啦啩... :P
