Girls outperforming boys is not true! Why is there no article called "girls getting better grades doesn't mean they outperform boys"?

Ive taught before and have a degree in education and am also a medical student with a strong background in psychology.

Girls DO get slightly higher grades and they average a 3.2 vs a 3.0 GPA. This is equivalent to an 85.3% for girls vs an 83% for boys - really not much different. The reason for this is debatable and likely due to biases.

The real difference where boys shine is test results. In Indiana, boys outscore girls in Math, Science, and Social Studies while girls outscore boys in reading. You can see those results here.

In AP courses, girls are around 55% of the population but boys take significantly harder courses, as you can see the breakdown here . Boys take significantly more physics, mechanics, economics and computer science while girls take more art and literature. Boys also outscore girls in 26 out of the 36 AP subjects, including EVERY STEM courses, some by large margins. The only subjects girls outscore boys are in art and languages by smaller margins. You can see the breakdown here.

The idea of a boy crisis is questionable. Boys are actually outcompeting girls in many areas. The real crisis is the bias from female teachers that's been proven through many studies and sadly witnessed myself.
