Meeting the Needs of Boys Sunshine2016Meeting the Needs of Boys At an age where learning is accelerated in the classroom and more is expected of our students, boys are struggling to meet the expectations set forth in contemporary schooling. In fact, “Boys are 30 percent more likely than girls to flunk or drop out of school” (PBS, n.d.).

For this discussion we will take a closer look at how to specifically meet the needs of boys in our classrooms.
