If you give boys books about adventure, and heroics, and honor, and decency, they gobble them up. If you foist on them relatively stagnant books about navel-gazing, they will zone out and become disengaged from education. Wrap that up with games that deny boys the opportunity to play rough (in a fairly safe way), and compete, and learn how to win and lose, and you will have emasculated a generation.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short.
