The Minds of Boys: Saving Our Sons from Falling Behind in School and Life by Michael Gurian

3.0

The Minds of Boys had some interesting points; however, there was not enough cited research to thoroughly convince me. His ideas for smaller class sizes and more arts and mentor programs in school sound wonderful and also impossible to achieve in our cash-strapped public schools. An updated version would be useful, including research on virtual school, magnet programs with varying focuses and their results for each gender, autism, and transgender students (gay students are briefly mentioned in a few chapters).
