Where The Boys Aren’t

If you only have time to read one article this week make it Richard Whitmire’s outstanding look at the overlooked issue of the underachievement of boys in The New Republic (free reg.). Whitmire delved into the issue while on a sabbatical from his post as an editorial writer at USA Today.

Too much to pull quote here but Whitmire walks through the available evidence, analyzes the landscape, and lays out the important questions researchers, educators, and policymakers need to figure out. It is, yes, must-reading.
