Three reasons why boys are out of sync with school today:
1) Zero Tolerance
2) Fewer Male Teachers
3) Kindergarten is the Old Second Grade
This speakers expresses the reasons why boys are so out of touch with school today. She explains certain factors that relate to this problem and then goes on to explain a way to help! Boys love video games. Therefore, why not use gaming to reengage boys? Design better educational games for these kids to play, uncompress some of the curriculum so that they become comfortable in their surroundings, find more money for game design, and look at teacher attitudes. We need to become more aware of finding ways to better the environment for boys in our schools today. They need to feel as if they have a purpose and if they belong in school.
I agree with this speaker. She makes a very valid point about the attitude of boys in school today and how they interact based on their surroundings. Finding a way to reengage boys through gaming that interests them is a great idea.
