Grant, Julia – Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014
America's educational system has a problem with boys, and it's nothing new.

Burke, Kevin J. – Peter Lang New York, 2011
We get our fixed--or malleable--notions of sexuality and gender from a variety of sources: family expectations, a hypersexualizing media gaze, and through the dictates of those great monoliths, Faith and Obedience within a/the Church. However, gender is also being formed in the well-worn halls and the ordered environment of classrooms: schools are…

Shain, Farzana – Trentham Books Ltd, 2011
Muslim boys, once regarded as passive, hard working and law-abiding, have been recast in the public imagination in recent years. Now the stereotypical image is of volatile, aggressive hotheads who are in danger of being brainwashed into terrorism, or of would-be gangsters who are creating no-go areas in English towns and cities. This timely and…
