Presumably, boys didnt need an excuse before video games; Men had the majority of diplomas, degrees, advancements, and all the important jobs. Of course this was prior to the enablement of women to compete, so then again, there was no way to draw a comparison previously.
On a side note, I really dont feel like this particular reviewer is focusing on video games as a cause (And Ill bet Sax wasnt either). It seems to me like its just a symptom of lessened engagement on real-world matters.
So if parenting being a major flaw if a kid is under-achieving, so heres a tough question: What, specifically, are people doing wrong in their parenting?
Or is this entire subject a red herring? Are boys doing just fine, and there is, in fact, NOT a widening gap in the ratio of male-to-female scholastic achievement?
