__________________________________________________________________________________________________ "As a school counselor and a mother of a 12 year-old boy I’m realizing that this is just beginning to scratch the surface of these issues. Obviously there is a lot more material that needs to be reviewed. The ideas and issues presented are very thought provoking. I feel a new appreciation for boys in school and the community. I’m hoping that this will give me new insights to my son and the young boys I counsel."
