Michael Gurian's blockbuster bestseller "The Wonder of Boys" is the
bible for mothers, fathers, and educators on how to understand and
raise boys. It has sold over 400,000 copies, been translated into
17 languages, and sells over 25,000 every year, which is more than
any other book on boys in history. To follow up on this first book,
which launched the boy's movement, he has now written this
revolutionary new book which confronts what he and a lot of other
parents and teachers in this country truly believe to be a "boy's
crisis."
Here are the facts:
- Boys today are simply not learning as well as girls
- Boys receive 70% of the Ds and Fs given all students
- Boys cause 90% of classroom discipline problems
- 80% of all high school dropouts are boys
- Millions of American boys are on Ritalin and other mind-bending
control drugs
- Only 40% of college students are boys
- And three out of four learning disabled students are boysSo
what can we do?
Gurian has the answer in this enormously fascinating and
practical book which shows parents and teachers how to help boys
overcome their current classroom obstacles by helping to create the
proper learning environment, understand how to help boys work with
their unique natural gifts, nurture and expand every bit of their
potential, and enabling them to succeed in life the way they ought
to.
Gurian presents a whole new way of solving the problem based on
the success of his program in schools across the country, the
latest research and application of neuro-biological research on how
boys' brains actually work and how they can learn very well if
they're properly taught.
Anyone who cares about the future of our boys must read this
book.
