　　BEIJING, Beijing, December 9 (Lv Chunrong) Recently, Shanghai launched the first gender education textbook for primary school boys in China, which also made the "boy crisis" a hot topic again. The reporter from Zhongxin. com noted that in recent years, many schools have launched such initiatives as "boy classes" and "father-son classes", but the results have been minimal. So, how to solve the "boy crisis"?

　　In order to cultivate boys’ masculinity: Shanghai promotes the first gender textbook for boys in China

　　On December 7th, the new book release conference of Little Man, a gender textbook for primary school boys, was held in Zhabei No.3 Central Primary School in Jing ‘an District, Shanghai. This book is regarded as the first gender textbook for boys in China. It is understood that the textbook is published by Shanghai Education Publishing House, and it is divided into six chapters, including "I am a boy", "Embrace myself", "I want to grow up", "Get close to nature", "Surfing the society" and "Beautiful and energetic boy".

　　According to reports, the textbook is mainly devoted to helping boys understand some gender puzzles they need to face in the process of growing up, aiming at improving boys’ courage and literacy. For example, in the third chapter "I really want to grow up", boys can understand "What does a father mean to his son?" "How to turn learning into an interesting activity?" "Why do men have to bear with me?" Wait for questions.

　　Why did you launch this textbook? You Rui, the editor-in-chief of the textbook and the principal of Shanghai Zhabei No.3 Central Primary School, said in an interview with the media, "In recent years, under the influence of exam-oriented education and many other factors, the healthy growth of boys has attracted much attention, looking for ‘ Little man ’ It has also become a social topic, and this course was born under such a background. "

　　You Rui said, "We hope that through this course, the majority of boys will get rid of their growing troubles and add some positive energy, so that the future of the motherland will have more sunny and masculine men."

　　Is the "boy crisis" coming? The strength of women is a big incentive.

　　The introduction of this textbook has also made the public pay attention to the topic of "boy crisis" again. It is said that from primary school, middle school, university to graduate students, boys have let girls surpass them in an all-round way, and it has become an indisputable fact that "Yin flourishes while Yang declines". In particular, some boys are "sissy", and their clothes tend to be feminine and their appearance is soft, which makes the society pay more attention to the problem of boys’ lack of masculinity and causes concern.

　　So, is the "boy crisis" really coming? Some experts have analyzed that nowadays, on campus, boys are inferior to girls in academic, psychological, physical and social adaptation.

　　Taking grades as an example, a survey of 20,000 primary school students conducted by the research group of "Investigation on the Current Situation of Primary School Students’ Family Education" of China Academy of Educational Sciences found that the proportion of boys and girls with excellent grades was 45.35% and 52.11% respectively, and the proportion of girls was significantly higher than that of boys.

　　Why did the "boy crisis" appear? In this regard, Zhang Meimei, director of the Sex Education Research Center of the School of Education of Capital Normal University, analyzed in an interview with Zhongxin. com that many reasons led to the emergence of the "boy crisis". On the one hand, because girls are becoming more and more powerful, especially in personality performance, some boys are becoming more and more embarrassed; On the other hand, due to the absence of father in the process of education, the frustration education of boys is insufficient, especially in the family education of post-80 s and post-90 s groups, mothers play a major educational role, which makes many boys more influenced by feminization.

　　"In addition, it is also due to ‘ Japanese ’ 、‘ Korean Wave ’ The influence of culture. Generally speaking, in literature and entertainment works such as Japan and South Korea, women are often portrayed as fierce images, while boys are mainly handsome men and feminine men, which also affects many boys. " Zhang Meimei said.

　　What are the countermeasures? "Boys’ Class" and "Boys’ Class Teacher’s Studio" enter the campus.

　　The reporter noted that the emergence of "boy crisis" has also attracted the attention of more and more schools, and "boy class" came into being under such a background.

　　In Jiangsu, in March this year, high school affiliated to nanjing normal university Xincheng Junior High School opened the first "boy class". It is understood that the school selected 30 boys from 95 male students who registered in the first grade to form a class, and the male teacher served as the class teacher. Prior to this, in 2012, Shanghai No.8 Middle School was approved to set up a men’s high school class.

　　In addition, in order to increase the masculinity of primary school students, some schools have also set up father-son classrooms and male class teacher studios. In Wuhan, Hubei Province, in March this year, Wuhan Yucai Primary School Development Zone Branch established a "male class teacher’s studio", and 10 male teachers will jointly study how to add "masculinity" to primary school students in the new semester.

　　In Shanghai, the third central primary school in Zhabei, Jing ‘an District still offers the teaching form of father-son class, inviting male fathers to communicate and interact with students.

　　What is masculinity? Experts say the core lies in responsibility.

　　In response to the measures introduced by some schools aimed at cultivating boys’ masculinity, Zhang Meimei expressed her pleasure at the success. She pointed out that the current society is becoming more and more diverse, and it doesn’t matter much that boys are not physically strong enough. As long as they have a sense of responsibility and responsibility inside, they are also the performance of masculine men.

　　Zhang Meimei said, "The emphasis on masculinity does not require boys to have muscles, angular faces, bright eyes and tall figures. The masculinity of boys should also be reflected in their sense of responsibility."

　　Zhang Meimei said, "In the past, in boys, we endowed them with characteristics such as courage, strength and toughness, but with the development of society, women also have the same characteristics. However, after all, women have special physiological structures and physiological periods. Therefore, boys need to bear more responsibilities in society. "

　　How to cultivate boys’ masculinity? Zhang Meimei suggested that we should start with physical exercise first, so that we can have a responsible body; Secondly, we should cultivate boys’ willpower; Furthermore, schools should also offer relevant courses to make boys aware of their responsibilities; Finally, in order for fathers to play a greater role in family education, frustration education is essential in the process of boys’ growth.
