Boys in Schools: Addressing the Real Issues, Behaviour, Values and Relationships - Softcover

"'The goal of building admirable men has been much touted by schools, but rarely addressed in a concrete way. Now this is starting to change... the need for this kind of book is urgent.' Steve Biddulph"

This text addresses many of the difficulties that boys face in schools, including: bullying; school violence; boys' under-achievement; homophobia; sexism; boys' non-involvement in school life; relationships; peer culture; masculinity; gender stereotypes; identity; and self-esteem. It presents accounts which show how innovative approaches used in schools can change the way boys view themselves and others. The contributions are from key practitioners of boys' programmes across Australia.
