No Boy Left Behind?

No Boy Left Behind? | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Boys have been falling behind girls in academic performance and attainment. Are our boys failing, or are we failing our boys?
Beth Dichter's insight:

For years we have hear "no child left behind" but what do the stats say about the boys? This infographic looks at some of the issues that may be affecting the boys coming through the education system. Are we leaving them behind?

Miro Svetlik's curator insight, October 4, 2013 8:35 AM

This is so nicely outlined, except the male/female teacher part which I this is a little bit exagurated and impacts more the boys are already missing a father figure at home. The final point is to give much more detailed attention to individual boys in the learning process and as well empower teacher to do so.
