There is a significant problem in our schools: too many boys are struggling. The list of things to concern teachers is long. Disappointing academic results, a lack of interest in studying, higher exclusion rates, increasing mental health issues, sexist attitudes, an inability to express emotions... Traditional ideas about masculinity are having a negative impact, not only on males, but females too. In this ground-breaking book, Matt Pinkett and Mark Roberts argue that schools must rethink their efforts to get boys back on track.

Boys Don't Try? examines the research around key topics such as anxiety and achievement, behaviour and bullying, schoolwork and self-esteem. It encourages the reader to reflect on how they define masculinity and consider what we want for boys in our schools. Offering practical quick wins, as well as long-term strategies to help boys become happier and achieve greater academic success, the book: offers ways to avoid problematic behaviour by boys and tips to help teachers address poor behaviour when it happens; highlights key areas of pastoral care that need to be recognised by schools; exposes how popular approaches to 'engaging' boys are actually misguided and damaging; details how issues like disadvantage, relationships, violence, peer pressure, and pornography affect boys' perceptions of masculinity and how teachers can challenge these.

With an easy-to-navigate three-part structure for each chapter, setting out the stories, key research, and practical solutions, this is essential reading for all classroom teachers and school leaders who are keen to ensure male students enjoy the same success as girls.

Quality for your money.
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
I am beyond pleased. Everything works well. I was just think yesterday after looking at it that i will have this bag long because it strong like keep for years strong, no joke. It is worth it. Easy to use, the space is enough for a University Student like me, and it adjsut well but I'm guessing it's manufacturing problem as one starp is longer than the other and feels funny at time but I work around it and adjust to my comfort.

Perfect backpack for work and daily use
Color: Apricot, Size: 16 Inch
The backpack has a clean, professional look and the material feels sturdy and smooth. The size is perfect for a 16-inch laptop, with good padding and comfortable straps. I use it daily for work, and everything fits well inside, including my laptop, charger, and a few essentials. It stays organized without feeling bulky and is very comfortable to carry

Perfect. A must have!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Nude
Perfect fit! After 2 battles with breast cancer and breast reconstruction I find it very difficult to find strapless or any bra for that matter that fit and are comfortable … this bra not only fits it stays put! I have purchased some pricey ones in the past but this gives a lot of bang for your buck. I also love the fact it stays in place- has rubber like adhesive that sticks to your skin and has no wires. I feel mangled after basically being amputated by a double mastectomy- I worry about the bra falling down exposing the fact I have no “nips” because cancer took all that away from me. Additionally, I like that it comes with removable straps for adjustability for extra support if needed. The quality seems to be good but I have yet to wash, just like any bra - gentle cycle wash and a flat air dry will extend the life of the bra.

Doesn't slip down
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Holds up very well for day to day work and doesn't slip down. Came with straps as well. Material feels great. I would base sizing off of your usual band size more than cup. Got a XXL when measured I'm usually a 38B or 36C and those sizes are too small to be comfortable and it said I'd match with a large so I went up based upon my bra experiences. Pink color isn't really a good pink tone more closer to nude and dull if anything. But all the other styles and colors are great. It feels very supportive and covers all the right places while smoothing out back rolls. It's a good stretch when you put it on to and then conforms to the chest. Pads are a little over the place but they're removable so that's expected.
