A Tangle of Trouble: Boys, Masculinity and Schooling--Future Directions.
Frank, Blye; Kehler, Michael; Lovell, Trudy; Davison, Kevin
Educational Review, v55 n2 p119-33 Jun 2003
Discourses of concern about boys' schooling do not address complexities of boys' lives. Critical scholarship in masculinities highlights the effects of heteronormative privilege and offers alternative practices. A focus on the social gendered performance of boys rather than the claim that girls get too much attention may be more productive. (Contains 83 references.) (SK)
