Better boys: The difference good dads make

The girls cleaned up at my (Brad’s) daughter’s middle school graduation in Virginia this month. Three out of four of the school’s top awards went to girls. A majority of the “President’s Academic Excellence Awards,” an award given to students who maintained an “A” average each semester throughout their middle school career, went to girls.

This is par for the course. Across America, girls dominate the ranks of the top-performing students, as boys dominate the ranks of students suspended and expelled by schools.
