Summary of Christina Hoff Sommers's The War Against Boys

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Aviation High School is a great example of how a school can help students become engaged and interested in learning. The school is all about structure, and students are kept so busy that they have neither the time nor the desire for antics.

#2 There are very few visits from American officials to Aviation High. The school is 85 percent male, and the women students are well respected, but their numbers remain minuscule.

#3 There is no simple answer as to why there are so few girls in Aviation High School’s program, but the school’s administrators are confident that their success will allay any concerns.

#4 The shortchanged-girl movement was based on a lot of unconventional evidence, such as controversial self-esteem studies, unpublished reports on classroom interactions, and speculative, metaphor-laden theories about school climates and female adolescent malaise.
