Hmmm, well its a bit unfair that men are paying 70% of revenue and only receive 30% of expenditure. If this was more 50/50 it would potentially help their outlook and self esteem.

The article is incoherent nonsense and expressive of the author's prejudices. The author wrote, "Some feminists seem to bridle at the very idea of helping boys improve." The foregoing sentence is an example of the author's prejudice. Please name one feminist who bridles at the very idea of helping boys improve.

Incoherent nonsense, eh? Why don't you get stuck into him properly and tell him what you really think?

Obviously you have never been to a primary school P&C meeting david f.

Anything that DavidF doesn't understand is 'incoherent nonsense' - not his inability to inderstand.

I'm just glad that I am old enough not to give a continental what women or anyone else thinks of me.

I think if you did a search on Feminist approaches to boys' education you would dig up a lot.

There is an article Westy ( I think?)
wrote some years back called "Why Governments Delayed" or some such. The journal is out of print but might be online, you never know your luck mate.
And yes boys' education has been the site of some very vicious fights among parents -and of course academics- I mean, what would you expect? They wouldn't agree that the sky is blue : )
