About The Program
Choirmaster Gareth Malone teaches in a primary school in Essex for one term. It is a school like many across Britain, with a significant gap between girls' and boys' achievement in literacy. Last week we saw Gareth and the boys tree-climbing and sharpening their speaking skills with a debate. This time Gareth faces a new mission: to get the boys reading.
Sunday, November 13, 2011 Tom Martin is making headlines around the world for bringing a £50,000 sex discrimination lawsuit against the prestigious London School of Economics (LSE), claiming its gender studies Masters programme he enrolled on consistently promotes biassed, female victim-hood stories, blaming men, in order to justify ignoring male equality debates like those brought by the fathers' rights movement.
Tom discusses his case on A Voice for Men radio, and appears in an explosive new youtube video, asking LSE students if discrimination against men in a gender studies course is ever justifiable, as the university's defence team now argue. Some LSE students are immediately hostile on camera, one declaring “There's no discrimination against men!” - her outburst juxtaposed by a fast-scrolling 160 item A to Z list of discrimination issues faced by males. Other students agree with Tom's complaint, one quietly admitting “I've been here for three years and never heard or read of a study about equal rights or equal opportunities for men, so definitely, there's a case there.”

FOR generations children have complained that school can be cruel and unusual punishment. Now it seems some headmasters are listening, introducing more breaks during the school day and explicitly recognising the value of running wild.
John Stewart, the headmaster of Tudor House, a private boys' school at Moss Vale, is adding an extra recess to the day with classroom doors locked to push boys to push the limits.
''For boys to be sitting in a classroom, contained behind a desk for hours on end, just skilling and drilling that can help you improve in a test score, is not only archaic, it is cruel. We felt boys needed more time to play and that social and emotional learning is just as important as reading and writing skills.''
Tuesday, March 8, 2011 The proposal for a White House Council on Boys to Men was originally inspired by a discussion initiated by the White House Boards and Commissions Director Joanna Martin to Dr. Warren Farrell, inquiring of his interest in advising the White House Council on Women and Girls, given his background with the National Organization for Women. Shortly after, Dr. Farrell created a multi-partisan Commission of thirty-four prominent authors, educators, researchers and practitioners to accomplish three goals: investigate the status of boys and their journey into manhood; identify both surface and underlying problems confronting boys and men; create a blueprint toward solutions. This proposal is the result.
Friday, February 18, 2011 Anthropologist Dr Herbert Gayle visited Ardenne High School in St Andrew on Wednesday to enforce that young men who are educated have more options than those who are not. Gayle lectures in the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Social Work at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona. He said he had three messages - one for the students, one for teachers and one for parents. "Keep yourselves in school, struggle, whatever it takes, make sure you are in school so you have maximum advantage," Gayle reminded the boys before he left. To the teachers, he said: "Teachers in my hearing, do not ever, ever, pursue a policy where you have one standard for girls and one for boys. Your job is to reshape the society, have one standard and let the boys reach up to it because they are bright!" And to the parents: "In order for boys to do well, they need one and a half times more food than girls." The crowd, made up of hundreds of Ardenne boys, exploded in cheers at that remark.
