Season 2, Ep 5: Boys “Fall Apart” in middle school

Middle school is a time of changes -- academic, social, emotional, and physical. For boys, puberty tends to start in the middle of middle school -- later than for girls. What effect does that have on differences between boys' and girls' learning and behavior? How much do "old school" gender roles play into it? Johnathan and Joel share their challenges with middle school, and we'll talk brains with a neuroscientist.
