Boy Problems

There's a recent article and study in Newsweek detailing why, today, young boys are having problems in school and, as a result, in life. From an epidemic of ADHD to too much stress being applied, it's tough to say what might be the root of the problem. After reading the article, I found it pretty amazing that young students at the kindergarten and first grade levels are already studying foreign languages and being required to know various topics that might not have been required until second or third grade previously. Why all the pressure suddenly? Is it to compete with other countries? As the articles says, some kids are thriving in such an environment, but many are not. Take the time to read this interesting article.
