Tackling the Boys Problem: boys-only book club started. "[Girls] would pick a book that would be boring, and I wouldn't read it at all," boy says.

I think it's a great idea. The school saw that a certain group of students was falling behind in a certain area, and came up with a creative way to fix the problem. If boys start to fall behind, focus on helping the boys. If girls start to fall behind, focus on helping the girls. It should be common sense.

I went to an all boy school and we had to read shit like pride and prejudice.

I remember the first time I saw "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales" (2nd grade), one of my classmates had it and we all thought it was THE BEST, MOST HILARIOUS book ever.

Ah, why doesn't he just start his own book club in which he chooses the book, and anyone that wants to join may do so. After all, I've found women interested in the same books I am on multiple occasions.

Of course this means that there must be a girls only book club.

Fix: "boys-only book club started at school"…

I have to wonder if these boys were reacting more to the fact that a girl picked out the book, rather than the material itself. If you go into it thinking "I'm going to hate this book, a girl picked it out!" Of course you're not going to enjoy it. I saw a lot of that kind of behavior when I was working with elementary kids a few Spring Breaks ago.
