If you hang around with two drinkers, you'll become the third. If you hang around with two smokers, you'll become the third. If you hang around two people who want to do well in life, you'll become the third.
This is the wisdom that Jay passes on at the start of our fourth and final episode of Boys v School.
It introduces another vital piece of the puzzle that we’ve been trying to put together – on why working class boys are falling behind in school, and what we can do about it.
In The Roots of Aspiration we look at how boys’ closest social relationships shape their values, identity and vision for the future.

Description

Boys vs School is an audio documentary that investigates one of the most urgent and overlooked problems in modern education: why working class boys are falling behind. In conversation with host Stephen Mullan, educators, researchers and boys unpack the dynamics of a system where working class boys are more likely to be excluded, underachieve, and disengage. The series explores the roots of this crisis and asks what it will take to help boys not just survive school, but thrive.
