The read aloud handbook5/8/2023 Some say it’s a boy problem others claim it’s a male or father problem. As one critic put it, you can’t make much progress as a country if only one gender is working at it. I’m sure there is no quick remedy, but we as a culture had better come up with some solutions pretty soon. I couldn’t help but connect those thoughts to the current problems we have with young boys and schooling. When the adult male was missing, so, too, was the achievement among the boys, and the castles were inferior. If dad was there, the boys were more involved and succeeding. Together, they had me thinking there was a common denominator among the best of them- a father (or older male) usually was involved. In fact, there were more than a dozen castles yet to be seen- some good, some poor, and a few spectacular. Had to be, I thought.Ĭontinuing my walk, I encountered another family bent over a sand castle. Watching the father and sons constructing the scene, handful by handful, I guessed the father to be an architect or an engineer. I was taking a vacation walk on a beach recently when I noticed the sand castles.
