Richard Whitmire was a former editorial writer at USA Today and past board president of the National Education Writers Association, and a frequent opinion commentator on national education issues.

A new book is out on this subject, Deep Secrets: Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection by Niobe Way.

Here’s an article about the book.

The book appears to support those who approach the boy troubles by focusing on the emotional challenges facing boys pressured to adapt to a macho culture.

The opinions expressed in Why Boys Fail are strictly those of the author(s) and do not reflect the opinions or endorsement of Editorial Projects in Education, or any of its publications.
