...when researchers looked at boys closely, they saw that boys have lower reading and literacy rates than girls, and higher rates of suspension, expulsion, and dropping out. Researchers are now concerned that co-ed schools, especially at elementary grades, are neglecting boys?? needs, and not treating them fairly. Some educators and parents have cautiously suggested that single sex education might also make sense for boys...

It is therefore baffling...

FRITZCrimson Staff WritersJunior Boys: “So This is Goodbye”At risk of taking the easy way out, I have to say that the most recent offering from Canada’s Junior Boys?? turns a neat trick: reestablishing and sustaining familiar tonal palette over the course of an entire album while eluding the joint specter of drudgery and repetition.Yet rather than a sprawling masterwork, “So This is Goodbye” is a cohesive album, whose melodic bass lines issue taut rejoinders to lazy keyboard echoes...
