BOYS, MEN, AND SCHOOLS—the search for soulful connection

WILLIAM POLLACK'S BESTSELLER, Real Boys, Rescuing Our Sons from the Myths of Boyhood, cites various studies that offer one window on what it's like to be a boy today.

• In the US, boys are twice as likely as girls to be labeled "learning disabled."

• In some school systems, boys are up to ten times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with a serious emotional disorder such as Attention Deficit Disorder (for which, Pollack notes, "many boys receive potent medications with potentially serious side effects").
