This engaging author says that boys are out-of-sync with the current school culture. She gives three reasons for this breakdown and offers practical solutions. It's a thought-provoking look at the differences in diagnoses, suspensions, and school expulsions for girls and boys. In addition, she takes a look at the real challenges that teachers face as they attempt to deal with large classrooms and not enough time with individual students.

As a mother of two boys, this talk makes me glad that at least people are starting to recognize and discuss the struggles boys are having in traditional schools.
