He highlights teacher bias, the widening gender gap in university enrolments, and the growing value of trades for boys who don’t thrive in traditional schooling. His core message: boys stay connected to learning when they feel purpose, and parents should focus on helping them find environments- academic or hands‑on - where they can be productive, motivated, and confident.
