Download Swagger: 10 Urgent Rules for Raising Boys in an Era of Failing Schools, Mass Joblessness, and Thug Culture AudioBook Free
"At this very minute, through no mistake of their own, our boys are trapped in the vortex of four powerful, insidious, often unseen causes which conspire to rob them with their future." We medicate, self-discipline, suspend, and expel our boys from school at quadruple the pace of women. We let double the amount of boys drop out of high school than women, and of those boys who do graduate, they are far more likely than their sisters to be illiterate, to fail to go to university, or to drop out of university if indeed they do go. Swagger is a wakeup demand parents about the real world our boys inhabit right now, but it provides alternatives as well. From how to teach your youngster humility (the swagger anti-venom), to "making your home a reading mecca," to creating an expectation of university graduation, and finally, to teaching your youngster to be critical of the press onslaught in his life, this e book is filled with research-proven, parent-tested, teacher-approved useful solutions, supplied in the author's trademark no-nonsense, often humorous, take-charge voice.
