Gaming for boys response

The statistics of office refferals for boys vs. girls is astounding. Boys are 3 times more likely to get suspended or expelled. Is this because they are bored? We expect the boys to be able to sit down and do their work. This is not how they learn. Boys want to play video games. We should not try to completely change them. This video suggests that we should meet them in the middle. We should invent games to get them more engages. We should make educational games for them to play and actually  learn.
