An Annotation

By far the best book I’ve found explaining both brain-based and social sex differences and their implications for the classroom.  The title would lead one to believe that this is a book only about boys.  But in reality that is far from the truth.  In explaining a particular male tendency, strength or weakness James often uses girls to compare.  So by reading this book, you really get both.

The thing that really sets this book apart from the rest is that it was written specifically for teachers.  It relates directly to the classroom using student type examples as well as giving copious examples of how to take advantage of or at least differentiate to deal with these differences.
