The non education of BOYS in School is blamed on the idea that "Boys Don't Read".

 Teachers will say this. I'm a Boy (male) and I read. But I don't read what women read. Here is a comment on a news article that asked the question, "Do Boys Read?":

"Yes they definitely do. I work in the Library Technical Department for the School District of Hillsborough County (eighth largest school district in the US). When I started here, the middle school director was very concerned about the reading gap. So I ran some queries of circulation for Library Books. Boys read just as much as girls, though they do read different things. Girls read more fiction, boys read more non-fiction and biographies (sports heroes)".

Guess which kind of book tends to be assigned in class?
