According to Maggie Dent, boys Don't Want to Fail. Boys don't want to disappoint their parents. Or themselves. They don't want failing grades, lost homework, and dozens of uncompleted assignments. It may seem that way - otherwise, they'd just do their work, right? But the reality is young, tween, and teen boys are still growing; they are still developing their organisation and time management skills and sometimes they fall behind. Nagging and browbeating them is not helpful.
