News, Advice, and Tips for Parenting Teenagers

You may be surprised to learn that 80 percent of all high school dropouts are boys. What is more, boys comprise fewer than 50 percent of the current college population.

Now, the girls have caught up and are out-performing boys, while boys are falling further and further behind in reading and writing.

To understand how girls and boys learn differently, you need to know how physiological, social and brain differences affect how boys learn.

Boarding Schools for Boys is a great site that lists all-boy schools, explains why boys do better in schools without girls, and offers tips to encourage your son to learn and make the most of his education.
