We have not made it cool though to be a smart boy.

And our schools are failing boys generally. They are set up for girls to succeed and sit quietly in classrooms, but not for boys to jump around and learn, tactilely or experientially.[/quote]

If anyone has any insights into international school systems I would love to hear some opinions of this. I know that most East Asian countries and the Scandinavian seem to do school better than us, do they also have this problem of unequal success between genders and the need for physicality from the boys? Do they have any solutions?[/quote]

I grew up in Europe and everyone sat quietly in their seats and did their work with zero issues. Everyone was respectful, raised their hand when they wanted to speak, there was no nonsense in the classroom. There was one teacher for 40 of us most of the time. One lesson was taught to all of us at the same time. Coming to the US for college was such a shock.[/quote]
