What are the tensions for boys between what the school expects from them as 'school pupils' and how they are drawn to behave as a 'boy'?
Full Description
Has the predominance of women teachers in primary schools led to classroom management and teaching styles which 'favour' girls? What are the tensions for boys between what the school expects from them as 'pupils' and how they are drawn to behave as a 'boy'? How does a primary school produce certain masculine styles in its day-to-day routines? In what ways do girls respond to male practices and behaviours in the primary school classroom? The book aims to provide readers with an understanding of the background literature on boys and schooling, an insight into 'masculinity-making' in primary schools, and to offer strategies for developing gender-relevant programmes.
