It seems stupid now, but all I could picture were the stereotypical-boy characteristics.
Boys' characteristics, household income, and BLLs as predictors of growth measures.
As our schools have become more feelings-centered, risk-averse, collaboration-oriented and sedentary, they have moved further and further from boys' characteristic sensibilities.
Mr. Kinney, he noted, deliberately draws each boy with distinct characteristics, while "the girls look almost exactly alike — they're objects of mystery and terror".
