There is a significant problem in our schools: too many boys are struggling. The list of things to concern teachers is long. Disappointing academic results, a lack of interest in studying, higher exclusion rates, increasing mental health issues, sexist attitudes, an inability to express emotions. Traditional ideas about masculinity are having a negative impact, not only on males, but females too. In this book, Matt Pinkett and Mark Roberts argue that schools must rethink their efforts to get boys back on track. This book examines the research around key topics such as anxiety and achievement, behaviour and bullying, schoolwork and self-esteem.
