Listening To The Boys: Issues And Problems Influencing School Achievement And Retention, Malcolm Slade
Listening To The Boys: Issues And Problems Influencing School Achievement And Retention, Malcolm Slade
Shannon Research Press
This work summarises the views of 1800 boys, from 60 secondary schools in South Australia, balanced across all sectors.

The literature review shows that gender inequality in computer use exists today. The inequality begins at birth with society giving boys and girl's roles that they have to play.
