Description
The War Against Boys: How Misguided Policies are Harming Our Young Men Christina Hoff Sommers argues that the problem of male underachievement is persistent and worsening, and that it's time to take a hard look at present-day realities. The author contends that the war against boys is harming our economic future and that traditional approaches to education are no longer effective. Sommers examines how the decline of recess, zero-tolerance disciplinary policies, and a focus on feelings-centered learning are turning our schools into hostile environments for boys. She offers realistic, achievable solutions to these problems, including boy-friendly pedagogy, character and vocational education, and the choice of single-sex classrooms. This updated and revised edition of The War Against Boys offers a new preface and six radically revised chapters, plus updates on the current status of boys throughout the book.
