Book Reviews of Helping Boys Succeed in School
Book Review: If you have sons or teach boys...buy this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a godsend to me. As a mother of a struggling boy in middle school, I was able to understand what he was going through a little better and was able to help him through his struggles in school. He went from getting D's and F's last year to A's and B's this year and much of that is attributed to the advice that I gathered from reading this book.
I am also currently earning my teaching certificate and plan to use strategies in this book with my future male students.
Summary of Helping Boys Succeed in School
Many parents and educators today are worried about the education of smart girls, especially in areas like math and science, but what about their male counterparts? According to a U.S. Census Bureau report (2004), 12% of boys drop out of high school, compared to 9% of girls. In addition, the current trend sees more girls enrolling in college than boys. Boys need to be given the tools they need to succeed in school, including strategies for channeling their interests, keeping them actively engaged, increasing their participation in humanities classes like language arts, and dealing with the unique social and emotional problems they face in school. The authors, national education leaders, combine field-tested strategies and advice with case studies of boys across the nation to give smart young boys and their parents a strong guide for ensuring boys' success in school and the future.
