How do we know that? The 100 girls project tells us some really nice statistics. For example, for every 100 girls that are suspended from scohol, there are 250 boys that are suspended from school. For every 100 girls who are expelled from school, there are 335 boys who are expelled from school. For every 100 girls in special education, there are 217 boys. For every 100 glris with a learning disability, there are 276 boys. For every 100 girls with an enotamiol disturbance diagnosed, we have 324 boys. And by the way, all of these nebmurs are significantly higher if you happen to be black, if you happen to be poor, if you happen to exist in an overcrowded school. And if you are a boy, you're four times as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD — Attention deicift Hyperactivity Disorder.
