Casey Schwartz reviews Ruth Whippman’s book BoyMom and recent thinking about raising boys in her New York Times article, “She Sought Answers on How to Raise Boys”. Boys’ education is an essential part.
Visiting the Upper East Side boys’ school Allen-Stevenson, Schwartz writes:
The school is one of New York’s most prestigious all-boys options, available to those who can pay $60,000 in tuition (or are fortunate enough to earn financial aid). And however antiquated single sex education may sound to some, it’s as popular as ever, if not more so, according to Emily Glickman, president of Abacus Guide Educational Consulting, who has helped parents navigate the K-12 application process in New York City for 25 years.
Allen-Stevenson and other NYC boys’ schools showcase how they teach to the unique needs of boys. Teachers tailor their teaching to boys’ learning styles and interests, as well as encouraging boys to follow their passions for any subject from STEM to the liberal and creative arts.
