ISBN: 9781408114681 出版年：2013 页码：129 Sally Featherstone Bloomsbury Publishing

The differences between boys and girls, in development and attitude to learning are well documented, and a formalised early curriculum emphasises these differences. The abilities of most girls to meet goals for learning at an earlier age may result in a tendency to focus on trying to teach boys to leainstead of recognising their unique gifts and abilities. If we are to help boys to become strong, competent learners from an early age, the temptation to feel sorry for them. the myths about 'under-achievement', challenge stereotypical views of gender, and recognise the unique strengths and abilities of young boys.
