Teachers who do not "allow" boys to read the type of books that interest them - like comics, "real life" adventure, books that we may not think of as real academic (like "captain underpants") - There is a lack of motivation when boys cannot chose what they want to read....and face it, the majority of elementary school teachers are female - we tend to pick books that appeal to us - not boys....
just my two cents....
