Mancession


It's a crisis. It's a crisis at my school. The girls are outperforming the males in every aspect of school life, including academic, extra-curricular, and leadership. Solutions are not easily found, but if there is already a problem with unemployed males now, then, oh God, just wait 10 years.

"We’re at risk of having a generation of young males who aren’t well-connected to the labour market and who don’t feel strong ownership of community or society because they haven’t benefited from it"

"But young men who live at home also have less incentive to find work. The longer they go without work, the dimmer their prospects become."

Why do we need an anti-bullying law? | Dec. 08, 2011

Should not inviting someone to a party be against the law? Provincial legislation is a bit of a blunt instrument to deal with a very complex issue. Again, teachers, admin, students, and parents all have a roll in stamping it out. It's a daily battle, and needs to be dealt with whenever it pops up, every time.
