Recent studies have shown that boys are falling behind in the classroom, and are having more trouble in school.

 

Penn State Education Professor Allison Carr-Chellman talks about how "Zero Tolerance" Policies, a lack of male role models in education, and a compressed curriculum are having a negative impact on boys in the classroom.

 

She also talks about how video games may very well be key to getting boys back on the right track at school.
