Two journalists put the "boy crisis" in context.
  • Are you begging for comments?

    Don't worry; they'll come.

    Anyway, there's nothing particularly controversial here. I agree that focusing on the broad category of "boy" sure is fun politically, but doesn't really contribute to the educational conversation. Better to focus on a rigorous curriculum and improving the quality of education at underfunded schools/schools serving underprivileged children. To the boy who complains about being left behind, well, he's just proven he's a boy and not a man, hasn't he? Suck it up, dude.
