Boys are doing worse at school than ever before, and teachers, parents and government are all in a panic.
Research shows that boys are being consistently outclassed by the girls.
They're getting lower marks, getting in trouble more and dropping out at much higher rates than their sisters. Each day we tackled some of the problems that students and teachers face, and to find out what, if anything, can be done to make school more bearable. Browse through the days to explore the topics we looked at. On Monday, you can hear the arguments about why boys aren't doing so well. Tuesday's show tells the inside story about why our schools still operate like prisons and how the classroom is the place you're least likely to learn anything.
