If you teach or have a son, read this. If you're both a teacher and parent to a boy, start tomorrow! This was recommended to me in my administration class by the professor, and I'm glad I looked into it. Besides focusing on why today's boys (and by extension, men) are falling behind in schools, business and society. Tyre makes a compelling case that the feminist movement may have over-reached, and the outcome is a high drop-out rate amongst boys, a horrible future for male minorities, and a bleak outlook for for females as a result. On this last point, who loses when 60% of those in college are females? University admissions will tell you it's girls as they've lowered standards for boys as a way to even the demographics. Video games, ADHD, the injection of female teachers and neurscience are all explored in this book, and Tyre makes a strong case. I'd recommend this book to anyone in education and/or the parent of a boy. My only critique is that end gets very redundant and the solutions offered are so obvious that Tyre need not spend chapters delving into them.
