In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

Teachers are more likely to call on boys. If a boy answers incorrectly, the teacher will help him reason out the correct answer. However, if a girl answers, a teacher is likely to answer with a bland 'okay' to her right answer or simply move onto another student if her answer is incorrect.
Girls excel in language and writing while boys excel in math and science.
A student may branch out and try new things without having the other gender to impress.
