[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Robert Putnam’s book “Kids” also sets a lot of these studies in context.  I think his solutions at the end don’t work well, but the data is there and very interesting.  [/quote]

Sorry, it is “Our Kids.”

I’m bored by the posters who demand studies then ignore them when provided.  For goodness’ sake read a book already![/quote]

Thank you. [b]Agree. It's one cantankerous, lonely SAHM.[/b][/quote]

I want you to summarize the book for us without going to Google.

I am the poster who suggested the book, but the most important part of the book is not its thesis, but the mix of studies, stories, and explanation connecting the two that Putnam does.  Someone asked for information about why single mother families are relevant to this discussion at all, why male role models are important, etc.  It touches on a lot of the issues raised in this thread and would be interesting and provide useful data to anyone seriously interested in this topic.  It is also written by a famous progressive political scientist from Harvard.  I think it also explores poverty and the growing chasm between private and public school educations and how that affects outcomes.  All of which is relevant to the future of boys (and girls).

Go ahead, demand another study on a very specifically worded point, I can’t wait to ignore you.[/quote]

To be clear. You didn’t provide a single study. You provided a name of a book. You are still free to post the studies from the book. [/quote]
