If you have a boy in school, here's your next "must" read
Ever since women got the right to vote in 1920, they've been on the march. In less than a century, they've muscled their way into the same jobs traditionally reserved for men --- and they're already earning 70% of a man's salary for that work. Why, at this rate, they'll.....Stop! Hold the presses! At this rate, girls will grow up to be a ruling class. And today's boys will grow up to work in auto-body shops (not that there's anything wrong with that) and dream of advancing to the manager slot at Burger King (ditto). Why? Because boys are falling behind in school --- and not just because they develop a little slower, read a little later, blah blah blah.The system is failing boys, Peg Tyre says. A feminized curriculum, behavior norms that disadvantage boys, schools with few men on the faculty, a misguided belief that kids are ready to learn at an earlier age --- Tyre rolls out a laundry list of reasons.I take Peg Tyre very seriously. First, because...

As a former boy this book is disturbing.
Peg Tyre has written a revealing and somewhat alarming book on the condition of boys in our schools and society. The Trouble With Boys: A Surprising Report Card on Our Sons, Their Problems at School and What Parents and Educators Can Do is insightful. Quite simply, in society's rush in the 1980s and 1990s to support our girls both socially and educationally we have apparently put the boys at a disadvantage.Among the many points Tyre makes, boys mature on a variety of scales later than girls. In our rush to improve standardized test grades, activities such as recess have been virtually cut from the daily school activities. Boys are genetically designed to run, throw, explore, and test their abilities. In modern America, this has normally been achieved through physical play some of which occurred at school. Among other things, this allowed the boys to burn off that abundant energy. In our current educational environment the morning and afternoon recesses have been...

"Boys are simply treated as defective girls."
Peg Tyre has written a remarkable book about a problem that many of us have sensed (but failed to articulate and complain about) for years: our young boys are being shortchanged from the first day that they enter a school building. Not too many years ago the concern in public education was how to prepare girls to grow into women able to compete with their male counterparts in the work world. That was a legitimate concern and, much to the credit of this country, a tremendous, and very successful, effort was made to correct the problem. But as always seems to happen, the pendulum continued to swing their way long after females had achieved educational equality. The momentum created to correct the initial problem was so strong that it eventually placed male students at a disadvantage, a new problem just as serious as the one it corrected.I have personally observed much of what Peg Tyre describes in "The Trouble with Boys." For what it is worth, I can offer anecdotal evidence...

From the moment they step into the classroom, boys begin to struggle. They get expelled from preschool nearly five times more often than girls; in elementary school, they’re diagnosed with learning disorders four times as often. By eighth grade huge numbers are reading below basic level. And by high school, they’re heavily outnumbered in AP classes and, save for the realm of athletics, show indifference to most extracurricular activities. Perhaps most alarmingly, boys now account for less than 43 percent of those enrolled in college, and the gap widens every semester!
The imbalance in higher education isn’t just a “boy problem,” though. Boys’ decreasing college attendance is bad news for girls, too, because admissions officers seeking balanced student bodies pass over girls in favor of boys. The growing gender imbalance in education portends massive shifts for the next generation: how much they make and whom they marry.
Interviewing hundreds of parents, kids, teachers, and experts, award-winning journalist Peg Tyre drills below the eye-catching statistics to examine how the educational system is failing our sons. She explores the convergence of culprits, from the emphasis on high-stress academics in preschool and kindergarten, when most boys just can’t tolerate sitting still, to the outright banning of recess, from the demands of No Child Left Behind, with its rigid emphasis on test-taking, to the boy-unfriendly modern curriculum with its focus on writing about “feelings” and its purging of “high-action” reading material, from the rise of video gaming and schools’ unease with technology to the lack of male teachers as role models.
But this passionate, clearheaded book isn’t an exercise in finger-pointing. Tyre, the mother of two sons, offers notes from the front lines—the testimony of teachers and other school officials who are trying new techniques to motivate boys to learn again, one classroom at a time. The Trouble with Boys gives parents, educators, and anyone concerned about the state of education a manifesto for change—one we must undertake right away lest school be-come, for millions of boys, unalterably a “girl thing.”

Great fit, great price
It's interesting that some people say the fit on this case is flimsy and other say it's great.Maybe it's the difference between AT&T and Verizon, or maybe there are a couple different runs of this case with different dimensions.Whatever the reasons, it fits fantastic on my AT&T iPhone 4. The corners are nicely padded so I'm confident my phone would survive a short drop - as long as it didn't land face down.In short, great case for the price - would recommend to anyone.

For the price, wow
I don't think you can go wrong at this price. It's functional, makes the phone grippier and doesn't add much bulk at all. All the holes match up with the phone and I can press the volume and sleep buttons easily. It is a little harder to slide apps from one home screen to the next. The bottom is mostly cut out for the charging port and speakers so the front lip of it occasionally gets pushed up a bit while holding it, which is not a big deal to me.

Looks cool and works well
While owning a previous version of the iPhone, I had a soft silicone case that prevented me from damaging or losing my phone at least twice (once when I left it on top of my car while looking for a parking spot). So when my company upgraded my phone, I knew I would have to get a soft silicone case, even if just for peace of mind. This model has been a big winner. It looks cool, fits the phone perfectly, allows me to operate my phone without issues, and it protects it. It holds it securely in my front shirt pocket and keeps it from jumping out. I have not repeated the car top test, but I trust it would work. Yep, I can leave this as a short review: the cover fits, protects, works, and looks good. I can't give it less than five stars.

Excellent for the price - really liked it!
This is an inexpensive rubberized case. I brought it to work - everyone, including me, thought it looked awesome & fairly unique. It does not cover any critical part of the screen and feels like it won't slip out of my hands or off a surface very easily. It is no more or no less flimsy than other rubberized (silicone) cases. I have seen better ones out there, but I can tell this one will last me two years (I rarely if ever take the case off once its been put on. The tire tread look is terrific. I'm very happy with this item & the price is great too.

“For the first time, a Nokian tyre wins a GF tyre test…and it completely deserves to, as the very balanced Finn manages to reach top marks not only for braking on wet surfaces, but also for rolling resistance,” the magazine commented. The Nokian Z G2 won the Gute Fahrt (3/2012 edition) summer tyre test, which included six size 225/45 R 17 W tyres, and received the top “very good“ grading. The frontrunner Nokian has 22 per cent less rolling resistance than the worst ranked tyres, meaning that it can save up to half a litre of fuel per 100 km compared to them.
