Article here. Excerpt:

'I was recently privileged to observe the practice of some of the best boys' schools in the country and to discuss with them the policies they implement to ensure that boys achieve their maximum potential.

Two points clearly emerge. First, there is a strong perception the educational system has been so 'feminised' that boys no longer feel comfortable within it and consequently find it more difficult to achieve success. And, as an expensive byproduct, a whole industry has grown up around the topic, with gurus springing up everywhere who claim to have all the answers.'
