If this years graduating high school class has more girls than boys, that means 13-14 years ago in kindergarten there were more girls than boys, and for those who are dating 5-10 years already to means that in their kindergarten class in 1988 there were 10 more girls than boys. Has this been a trend for the last almost 30 years that the non chassidish yeshivish community in the us has had such a disparity in births between males and females? Is it possible the numbers are closer to 50/50 and we have a different problem altogether, too many boys have “problems”, as PBA so eloquently put it, that they dont make it to their graduating class (or, they graduate from a place that they are not considered for shidduch island as NASI likes to call it)?
