Boys are on the losing end of a growing achievement gap with girls. In the latest round of school assessment tests in Vermont, boys, on average, scored below girls in math, reading, and writing. Richard Hawley is a longtime educator and the author of the new book, Beyond the Icarus Factor. Dave Landers is a Psychology and Gender Studies Professor at St. Michael's College. They spoke with VPR's Jane Lindholm about how our culture can better support and encourage the success of boys in the classroom.
