I am surprised to see that none of the comments really comment or reflect upon the issue this article brings up, which is that for boys to thrive they need to be taught differently. If we can actually create ciriculum that allows them to excel why would we not do this? I know that the main point against it would be that young girls perhaps would not thrive in such a system. Yet I think we have to find a balance between them if we want true equality and what is best for all of our children. Mayhaps it is time to reaccess if we should not have separate classes for boys and girls..food for thought...

'Separate but equal' is never actually equal.

I bet girls would do just fine, and a sane combination of approaches works best. The biggest issue with schools is that everybody thinks they know how to fix stuff, but the research is spotty at best. Standardized tests and core curriculums? Differentiated learning or academic tiers? We all have opinions, and there are many in this thread, but not all of these opinions can be simultaneously right.
