The boys in our schools and classrooms are wired to learn. They, unfortunately, are often not equipped to respond to the confines and restraints of many modern classrooms. What do we - mostly females - need to know about the Boy Code? How does the way we talk with young boys promote their strength, build their courage and confidence, and open their minds to learning - or does the way we speak shut them down, close them out, exclude them from the rules of school? What effective strategies work to reach them, to teach them? How can we better learn to love from working with boys in school?
