Children's education has always been dominated by women. I think the problem is more that young children are suddenly being held to a standardized curriculum in which they are expected to learn to read in kindergarten (instead of 1st grade) while their recess time is curtailed or cut entirely. Then when the boys or the youngest quartile of 5-year-olds have trouble sitting still or focusing on desk work, it becomes pathologized.
