  At the age of sixteen Gray left the small town of Pineville, where he was born. Twenty years later Gray found himself back on a visit. He went to see his old friend Tom Clark, who was busy preparing to welcome a well-known writer, who had been invited to give a talk on modern literature(文学) at the public library that very evening. Since he happened to have read a book or two by the famous writer, Gray gladly accepted the invitation when Tom asked him to go to the talk.

  Tom was going to introduce the guest speaker to the audience(听众). So they went to the library a little earlier to greet him. As the guest had not yet arrived, Gray left Tom and went into the main reading-room where a large crowd had already gathered. He was sorry to find that he didn't know a single person there. And he found a seat in the corner and sat patiently waiting.

  When it was about time for the talk to begin, Gray saw Tom standing at the doorway making a sign for him to come out. Tom looked worried about something, there fore, Gray rose from his seat immediately and went out to him. Tom explained to him that he had just had a telephone call from the writer's secretary. Their speaker had missed his flight and would not be arriving! While they were thinking about the problem, Tom suddenly asked Gray if he would mind filling in as the speaker. Gray hardly led back into the reading-room to address the waiting audience!

  Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents.But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying.He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects.One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同龄人)group.

  The lack of right male(男性的)role models in many of their lives-at home and particularly in the school environment(环境)-means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.

  They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves.Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture(文化)is all-powerful.Boys want to be part of a club.However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them.Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers.You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.

  It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong.They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games.Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems-somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
