ob·strep·er·ous (adjective)
Christina Hoff Sommers, “The Boys at the Back
The word “obstreperous” means noisy and difficult to control. This definition is from www. Dictionary.com. I would like to add this word to my glossary because when I first read the sentence I did not know what that would meant. After reading the definition, I can say that what that sentence meant was that boys cannot control themselves and cannot stay still. In addition, this only occurs in a classroom as boys overact more than girls. Saying that girls are mature then boys most times.
