Why So Many Boys Are Falling Behind

It has been well publicized that American boys are falling behind girls in several markers of academic performance, and that these outcomes may also be contributing to adverse outcomes for adult men (higher rates of poverty, suicide, and unemployment).

“On Point,” a news-radio program is producing a 3-episode series detailing why boys are falling behind, and what parents, educators, coaches, and policy-makers can do about it.

This is a must-listen for any parent of boys, and any professional who works with boys or young men.
