Appearance on The Exchange: Boys Left Behind

MT · Apr 23, 2012 ·

I was a recent guest on New Hampshire Public Radio’s The Exchange hosted by Laura Knoy to discuss the subject of the growing achievement gap between girls and boys:

The statistics are startling: Girls have been surging ahead academically from the elementary years right on up through Graduate School while boys seem to be falling behind and are becoming disengaged from learning at an early age. We take a look at the latest thinking on this subject and whether the picture is as dire as it’s often presented.

You can listen to the full interview here.
