Boys and girls learn differently
-
I don’t think many experts make those sorts of distinctions anymore Dragonfly Sg, according to the statistics from most developed countries girls are out performing boys in just about every subject these days including the traditional male bastions of Math and Physics. It seems the barriers in the past were more to do with culture than learning styles or affinities for particular subjects.

It is really fascinating to see the rise of girls achievement against boys in most countries in the last 20 years. Some people put this down to a perceived "feminising" of the curriculum but I think it is much more to do with, as Dad-again-2 says, cultural changes leading to more educational opportunities for girls and women these days than in the past, in most countries anyway. And interestingly enough maybe because such opportunities are historically quite recent even in western countries, the average girl tends to value her opportunity to become better educated more than the average boy and in my experience teenage girls simply work harder than teenage boys.
