BOOKS

  • The Trouble with Boys by Peg Tyre
    "Passionate, powerful and persuasive, Peg Tyre's beautifully researched book, The Trouble withBoys offers the reader a compelling explanation for why boys are not being served well by America's schools. I recommend this book to any mother who is confused or worried by her son's struggles in the classroom. What you learn here will help you to guide your son's education. I suspect that teachers may feel that Peg Tyre has given voice to their deepest doubts about the things we make boys endure in school. I urge all educators to read The Trouble with Boys. You won't teach boys in the same way once you’ve finished it.”
    —Michael Thompson, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Raising Cain: Protecting The Emotional Life of Boys

  • Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys by Dan Kindlon, Michael Thompson
    Raising Cain gives a long-needed insight into that mysterious, magical land, the psyches of boys. Every parent, teacher--or anyone who wants boys to flourish--should read this book."
    --DANIEL GOLEMAN Author of Emotional Intelligence

  • The Trouble With Black Boys: And Other Reflections on Race, Equity, and the Future of Public Education
    by Pedro A. Noguera
    Education professor Noguera examines the cultural, societal--and personal--factors that create the stubborn link between race and poverty. In this compelling series of essays, Noguera cites research and his own personal experience--as a minority, a father, and an educator--to explore the myriad ways that young black and Hispanic males are expected to run afoul of middle-class American norms and often do. He argues that public schools, are the only institutions with the access and resources to turn around troubling social trends. (Booklist excerpt May 2008)
