It’s not easy being a boy today…studies show that 70 percent of the
students who get Ds and Fs are boys…80 percent of kids diagnosed with
learning issues are boys…80 percent of high school dropouts are boys.
Why do boys struggle so much in school? Is it related to the way we
educate and raise boys today? What can we do to turn this trend around?
Watch the critically acclaimed video program, The Trouble With Boys, and learn what you can do to help your boys be the best they can be.

"The Trouble with Boys" would be an excellent video to show educators. Boys and girls require two different styles of teaching. There are some teachers that recognize this but not enough. My son is going to middle school next year and I am scared to death! They don't have recess and have very limited P. E. What will he do with all of that bottled up energy? I hope that is not where the discipline problems begin.

"This is a great video. I really feel that this kind of video needs to be show in full to all parents. Aired on TV. Most parents may not have the extra money to purchase this video." "In fact all of your series with kids needs to some how made a way for schools all over to have to help these parents and children that are low income. Knowledge is power , but if the parents can't get this information then will be powerless. They care about there children too."
