While annual test results show that UK boys score lower in basic learning skills than girls, Wilson (National Education Breakthrough Programme for Raising Boys' Achievement) argues that the media's charge of male culture and antisocial behavior are not valid. The author delves into the facts concerning national scholastic testing to show that while boys are doing better than expected, there is room for improvement. Aimed at both educators and parents, this book also features interviews with the boys themselves which feature their views on scholastic disassociation, poor scholastic performance and peer pressure.
