Girls achieve Higher Grades than Boys in All School Subjects and have done so for decades, Analysis

[Sableye]

so maybe we should figure out how to engage boys better in the learning process besides cramming them full of anti psychotic meds and telling them to sit and stair at a board for 8+h a day?

I mean its pretty apparent that the western approach to school is somewhat flawed in the light of tons of academic and development studies that say things like this..

also I noticed in highschool, like when it came time for college, the guys would pick tough fields and the girls would cluster around relatively easy fields. like the top chicks in my class went into vet school, healthcare, and education, while the top guys went into business, engineering and the military.

I'd say there's somewhat of a flip at the end of highschool

Not in IT, in my class there's only one girl... And the other year below there's none!

This is because males learn physically where girls learn emotionally, and I think the school environment is more geared towards females in classroom/learning aspects. I.e draw this nice shape, stay in between these lines etc etc which guys have no care for.

[QUOTE=FlakAttack;44685682]This is a myth. Mentally, girls don't mature any faster than boys.[/QUOTE]

Girls tend to mature faster at around pre-teen and boys kind of catch up at mid to late teens IIRC.

Hmm I also have anecdotal evidence of boys and girls performance in school so I feel that I can safely confirm or deny the findings of these scientists.

I also can clearly explain why there is a disparity between genders it's obviously common sense. I know for a fact the differences between genders and the real causes!

I consider myself above average when it comes to grades and motivation towards studying, but the girls in my class are the most hard working and they get higher grades because of it.

but they also never go out and they miss all the fun of being young so well yeah suckers
