It has sold over 400,000 copies, been translated into 17 languages, and sells over 25,000 every year, which is more than any other book on boys in history. To follow up on this first book, which launched the boy's movement, he has now written this revolutionary new book which confronts what he and a lot of other parents and teachers in this country truly believe to be a "boy's crisis". <br> <br> Here are the facts: <ul> <LI>Boys today are simply not learning as well as girls <LI>Boys receive 700f the Ds and Fs given all students <LI>Boys cause 900f classroom discipline problems <LI>800f all high school dropouts are boys <LI>Millions of American boys are on Ritalin and other mind-bending control drugs <LI>Only 400f college students are boys <LI>And three out of four learning disabled students are boys </ul> So what can we do? <p> Gurian has the answer in this enormously fascinating and practical book which shows parents and teachers how to help boys overcome their current classroom obstacles by helping to create the proper learning environment, understand how to help boys work with their unique natural gifts, nurture and expand every bit of their potential, and enabling them to succeed in life the way they ought to. <p> Gurian presents a whole new way of solving the problem based on the success of his program in schools across the country, the latest research and application of neuro-biological research on how boys' brains actually work and how they can learn very well if they're properly taught. <p> Anyone who cares about the future of our boys must read this book. 125118 2005 The Minds of Boys: Saving Our Sons From Falling Behind in School and Life total:75|5:20|4:22|3:29|2:3|1:1| 75 282 162 25 3 0 false false Tue Mar 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 03 06:09:36 -0800 2009 Tue Mar 17 11:07:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Nov 25 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 06 16:37:34 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 25 07:29:13 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri May 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 12:30:10 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 11:03:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 25 23:16:08 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 23:20:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 09:34:42 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 07:54:53 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri May 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 20:41:40 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 20:45:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Feb 24 13:15:45 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 13:17:20 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 18:18:45 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 18:19:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 25 18:13:45 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 18:29:57 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 18:13:45 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Feb 02 07:08:12 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 07:08:54 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 08 07:01:57 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 22 05:59:22 -0700 2008
