This lack of thought is, sady, a reality of the public school system in which I have taught the last ten years. I am guessing they just did this as an easy way to divide the class in half.

Perhaps the teachers felt overwhelmed in the past with that many adults and childen in a small classroom. They probably put less than 2 minutes into the planning and execution of the letter. Dividing the group into "boys and girls" was probably their first idea on how to divide up the class into two different times. From what I've seen, planning and then giving parents ample time to allow for our schedules is not their stengths. I also like the way they assume everyone can make it on a Tuesday morning during the work week.
