Praise for Tyre's lectures and workshops"Terrific talk tonight—I'm the pre-school teacher from the front row - also a mother of 1st and 3rd grade boys! You also inspired me to galvanize some parents our school for an after-school reading/history/project club for boys. Will be meeting our principal to get some things rolling—you are an inspiration!" "I think you made a big impact on our teachers. The day after your talk, my son got into my car smiling." "Peg Tyre has spoken at Fairfield Country Day School twice to standing room only crowds which attests to the interest people have in how our current educational system is serving the needs of boys. Peg's in-depth research, thoughtful analysis and wise counsel were clearly evident in her presentation and during the extended Q&A. Everyone in attendance including educators, parents, administrators and the media, walked away with a clearer understanding of the challenges facing boys at all levels of the educational system in America today. Her presentation is witty, energetic and engaging; if you have the opportunity to hear Peg speak, I urge you to take it. —Christian Sullivan, Headmaster, Fairfield Country Day School
