Скачать или смотреть School Is Failing Boys (And Nobody Wants to Admit It)

Education is failing young boys, and most people don’t understand why. Why are so many boys disengaging, falling behind, or checking out of school altogether? What happens when an outdated education system collides with neurodiversity, technology, and modern masculinity?

In this eye-opening episode of the Men’s Therapy Podcast, Marc sits down with Jake Noonan. He is an academic neurodiversity coach from the Neurodiversity Collective. They unpack what’s really happening inside today’s classrooms. Drawing from his personal ADHD diagnosis, years of teaching experience, and work with young men and boys, Jake offers a rare, inside look at how education is failing to adapt.

This conversation explores giftedness, ADHD, autism, and twice-exceptionality, while exposing how rigid systems, bureaucracy, and fear of change are harming students, especially boys.

You’ll also hear why control-based parenting backfires, how shame and censorship undermine critical thinking, and what parents, teachers, and mentors can do right now to support boys’ emotional, intellectual, and identity development. This is a must-watch discussion on neurodiversity, modern masculinity, and reimagining education for a digital world.
