1．As we discussed last week，there have been a lot of reports that boys are in trouble in American education．Some people say efforts to improve education for girls，especially in math and science，have resulted in a crisis for boys．That belief has led to what a new report calls a growth industry of experts advising how to make schools more"boy friendly"．
Yet that report，released this week，suggests that the truth is far different from what people might think．It says American boys in most cases are doing better than ever．"But girls have just improved their performance on some measures even faster，"it says．As a result，girls have narrowed or closed differences with boys in some areas and moved farther ahead of them in others．
The report does agree that some groups of boys are in trouble．It says this is true especially of blacks and those from poor families．But it says closing racial and economic differences would help them more than reducing diff erences between boys and girls．
Another concern is the large number of boys with learning and emotional disabilities．Also，the report says policymakers now recognize the need to reform public high schools，which should help boys as well as girls．But the report questions what it calls"simplistic"proposals to fix problems for boys in American school．One example given is expanding single-sex schooling．Findings on the success of the idea have differed．
The Education Sector report calls for more study into the differences between boys and girls and into the culture of schools．It says the research will help better understand why gains for boys are not rising as fast as for girls．But the report also advises the public not to worry too much，and to be careful not to harm the gains that girls have made．
