Product Description:
A manifesto and programme for teachers and parents on how the fundamental difference between boys and girls affects the way they learn. Using recent scientific research on male and female cerebral anatomy, brain development, and hormonal chemistry, it shows why classroom strategy must change, and makes specific suggestions for techniques and innovations which will provide equal educational opportunities, customised for gender difference.

Our education system always talks the talk of "celebrating diversity," but we are pummeled by political correctness any time we acknowledge any differences.
Michael Gurian does an exellent job presenting a lot of heavy medical and scientific research about brain differences between boys and girls.

We need to stop worrying about offending people with talk of the differences of the genders and embrace what we are seeing and (what studies are showing).

This is filled with critical information and ways to help our kids. I want to do the best for my son and daughter and I thank Michael Gurian for this book.

Thanks for the book!

Many years ago these kinds of schools were common, but for whatever reason we have gotten away from that structure. The book points out many important biological difference that explains a lot to me about why both genders act the way ... Read More

I found 'Boys and Girls Learn Differently" to be a useful and fascinating introduction to the general strengths and weaknesses of males and females in the classroom.
Some reviewers may laugh or poke fun at the relatively old ideas that he is presenting as new in the areas of male/female brain differences. These may be old ideas in the biology lab, but someone needs to walk over to the schools of education across the country because the 'tabla rasa' theory (the mind is a blank slate and gender ...
