The good news about/for boys
The best thing about the recent media coverage on the boys issue is the formation of the Boys Project at http://www.BoysProject.net.
It was formed this month by an early advocate for boys, Judith Kleinfeld of the University of Alaska. She wrote the breakthrough article, "The Myth that School Short Changes Girls." And turned us on to "Gender and Fair Assessment," an incredibly pioneering book with real facts and data.
Also, if you're looking for the big players on the boys issue, they are almost there as "founding board" members. Keep up the great work Judith!
Thanks for the link to the Boys Project. I've been following the studies you've been writing and talking about. I'm still not sure though...do we know what is causing this or are we still in the research stage.
