description: As issues of gender reform in the school system come to the forefront in popular media, stories of how girls have benefited at the expense of boys have become a common lament. Statistics such as how poorly boys perform on exams as compared to girls are often cited, as well as the cost of programs developed to support girls. Masculinity Goes To School gives a balanced overview of the issues surrounding boys and education. With in-depth analyses of how popular constructions of masculinity affect all aspects of a boy's life, the authors examine what is really happening with boys in the school system.
