The Minds of Boys: Saving Our Sons from Falling Behind in School and Life

內容簡介

Michael Gurian's blockbuster bestseller The Wonder of Boys is the bible for mothers, fathers, and educators on how to understand and raise boys. It has sold over 400,000 copies, been translated into 17 languages, and sells over 25,000 every year, which is more than any other book on boys in history. To follow up on this first book, which launched the boy's movement, he has now written this revolutionary new book which confronts what he and a lot of other parents and teachers in this country truly believe to be a "boy's crisis". 

Here are the facts:

• Boys today are simply not learning as well as girls
• Boys receive 70% of the Ds and Fs given all students
• Boys cause 90% of classroom discipline problems
• 80% of all high school dropouts are boys
• Millions of American boys are on Ritalin and other mind-bending control drugs
• Only 40% of college students are boys
• And three out of four learning disabled students are boys

So what can we do?

Anyone who cares about the future of our boys must read this book
