Schools Ever More Boy-unfriendly

An article from the National Post discusses the numerous ways in which schools have become more unfriendly to boys and the ways boys are seriously lagging behind girls in the public education system. It's a short article that does an overview of the issues at hand, but I thought a couple of good quotes/facts where included in the article, such as, "[schools have been called] "the most boy-unfriendly places on Earth"...[there are] institutions where the budget for the equity office may exceed the budget for the library to purchase books. Where administrators turn a blind eye to academic offences such as cheating, but come down hard on any student who might give a sexist chant at a football game."Source: National Post [Canadian newspaper]
