In this book the author explores and analyzes detailed ethnographic data on this purported gender gap between boys and girls in educational achievement at two low-income high schools, one rural and predominantly white, the other urban and mostly African American. Crucial questions arose from his study of gender at these two schools. Why did boys tend to show less interest in and more defiance toward school? Why did girls significantly outperform boys at both schools? Why did people at the schools still describe boys as especially "smart"? The author examines these questions and, in the process, illuminates connections of gender to race, class, and place. This book is not simply about the educational troubles of boys, but the troubled and complex experience of gender in school. It reveals how particular race, class, and geographical experiences shape masculinity and femininity in ways that affect academic performance. His findings add a new perspective to the "gender gap" in achievement. 000694086 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000694086 650_0 $$aSex differences in education$$zUnited States$$vCase studies. 000694086 650_0 $$aHigh school boys$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$vCase studies. 000694086 650_0 $$aMen$$zUnited States$$xIdentity$$vCase studies. 000694086 650_0 $$aBlacks$$xRace identity$$zUnited States$$vCase studies. 000694086 650_0 $$aAcademic achievement$$zUnited States$$vCase studies. 000694086 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMorris, Edward W., 1973-$$tLearning the hard way.$$dNew Brunswick, N.J. : Rutgers University Press, c2012$$z9780813553689$$z9780813553696$$w(DLC) 2011048988$$w(OCoLC)769289545 000694086 830_0 $$aRutgers series in childhood studies. 000694086 8520_ $$bacq 000694086 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000694086 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000694086 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=988921$$zOnline Access 000694086 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=988921$$zOnline Access 000694086 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:694086$$pGLOBAL_SET 000694086 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000694086 980__ $$aBIB 000694086 982__ $$aEbook 000694086 983__ $$aOnline
