Fantastic as always. Forwarded to my husband and brother (dads to 4 boys between them)

One small thing...ELA and math don't balance out. I know you are talking populations wide, but, my oldest boy has dysgraphia. He basically had to relearn math every time he did it because of how his brain functions. But he was reading at a high school level in 3rd grade. His teachers always told us it would balance out...it never did. His profound sense of failure based on how he couldn't write math or essays well enough to translate his reading and eloquence haunts him still as he goes into 10th grade. My brilliant boy thinks he is a failure every day because he couldn't do what his elementary school teachers kept telling him he should be able to. I feel like I will never get over my heartbreak for him.

Yours would be only the second institute in the world for the study of boys and men. The only one in America. The other being John Barry and Martin Seager’s Centre for Male Psychology in London. Thank you.
