This is a very interesting article and it is nice to see some research that shows there is no need to fear a "boy's crisis" in education because of girls' gains. It shows that girls and boys are both gaining and overall, more men are succeeddindg getting into colleges than in the past when measured against percentage of men into college...rather than a percentage of men against women. In students entering college directly after completing high school, there is alomst no gender gap. Both genders are more likely to graduate today than ever before...so both genders are better off. One wonders what the impact of what will happen with the recession and pull back in educational funds since the research shows that low inclome is more a factor than gender or race/ethnicity.
