According to education statistics across North America, boys now perform poorly compared with girls -- and with boys of previous generations. What is causing this trend? What can be done to help both genders succeed? This program presents insights from experts in child development -- including Dr. William Pollack, Harvard clinical psychologist and author of Real boys, and Jean-Claude St. Amant, senior Education Researcher at the University of Laval; it also surveys male teenagers themselves about the challenges facing boys and young men. Teacher training, curriculum design, literacy instruction, role models, pop culture, and male behavioral tendencies are some of the topics addressed.
