Middle school is a time like no other, as significant biological and emotional changes coincide with profound personal growth, says educator Jerome Hunter. The middle school for boys that he founded centers on a program that helps redefine masculinity through what he calls the three “Cs” — confidence, communication and community. He shares the growth he’s seen when boys are encouraged to explore their own empathy — and how it could lead to a more just world.

      He needs his father more.

      ​@Chuck M. Weird reply. Why do you assume he doesn’t have a father?

    • Chuck M.

      March 21, 2023 at 6:42 pm

      @Go-go 63 kids with father’s don’t need to be told stuff like this by videos on the internet.

      @Chuck M. depends on the father

    • Go-go 63

      March 23, 2023 at 5:23 pm

      @Chuck M. Hmmm. That too is a pretty general statement. Though I agree that it’s best to have a good stable home with a good father role model, many fathers (and mothers) can be the very cause of a child’s messed up sense of self.

    The government has really made things more difficult for its citizens and we can’t sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. it’s obvious we are headed for hyperinflation, it is always the poor who take the hit.

    -> But Don’t Pay Much Attention To Our Neanderthal English, Ha Ha Ha ❤
    *NOTE:
    -> Spiritist is who professes Spiritism, the Gospel continuation
    It has began with the books by Allan Kardec and continued in the books by Francisco C. Xavier, the greatest and more important medium/prophet of spirits of the last centuries…

    Not surprisingly, these would be good things for girls to learn as well.

    • Sibylle Leon

      March 21, 2023 at 10:43 am

      The confidence definitely would be. Girls that age are usually miles ahead of boys in terms of communication and community, though. They need different things – focus on values other than their looks, setting boundaries and standing up for themselves, and the like.

      Like it or not, our society treats girls and boys very differently, and so their deficiencies/needs differ, too.

    How about letting boys develop their own idea of masculinity instead of having it imposed by adults?

    • Enraged

      March 22, 2023 at 4:30 am

      How about we give kids every single book ever and let them develop their own thoughts?

    • Reem

      March 22, 2023 at 9:51 am

      That’s not how humans work. They’re going to get an idea of masculinity from somewhere, so it’s better to be a positive idea of masculinity rather than a negative and toxic one.

    • Reem

      March 22, 2023 at 9:51 am

    This question, “What is masculinity,” has been asked and answered for 4,000 years. We need to ignore everything written in the last 10 years because it is filled with error – an outlier. Chivalry and similar concepts are the answer. If you knew more about history, you would not have had to try inventing the wheel.

    • Robert Ortiz-Wilson

      March 22, 2023 at 4:43 am

      Exactly right. Narcissistic people believe that because they live in the “modern” world, they somehow have better, no, “correct” ideas.

How much should we invest in teachers, and what should new investment actually involve? Education innovator Randy Seriguchi Jr. suggests the US should create a “G.I. Bill” for teachers, with a particular emphasis on uplifting Black male professionals. He shares a model of this idea in action through community partnerships in San Francisco, which provide aspiring teachers with graduate school tuition, subsidized housing, personalized fit assessments and more. “If we truly want to elevate this profession to inspire new, diverse talent to join us, we have to improve both the personal and professional experiences associated with teaching,” says Seriguchi.
