Many of the jobs being advertised by manufacturing companies lack applicants that are trained in those positions. Skilled labor is not meeting the needs of our factories. Male dominated fields are suffering but why? Males are not doing well in school and don't make it to college for training.

Keeping Boys Engaged in School is Challenging

Why are boys not doing as well in school as girls? This is something many schools throughout the nation are trying to figure out. One thing that many in education do agree upon is that the longer boys sit, the less they learn. Peg Tyre, writer for Newsweek, The Chicago Tribune and author, has done extensive research on boys and school and concluded that boys and girls need to be taught differently for them to succeed. This is more crucial for boys than girls.

Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City, is searching for how to keep boys (both white and minority) in school. This summer, Bloomberg will unveil his plans on changes to be made in the New York City Schools. These changes are likely to include:

• Michael Jordans College Major

• Alberson College Of Idaho

• College Bowl Money

• College Assignments

• Rpi In College Basketball
