Why Girls Tend to Get Better Grades Than Boys Do

I can relate to this. I have poor organizational skills and I'm terrible about being late on assignments. I was frustrated throughout school by these things, and was never really 'taught' anything to fix them. I was pretty much just told to 'do better.' Where I made up for it was stellar test grades. I powered through school by sheer intellect alone.

Hopefully there will be more work on this. It might be more helpful if we started talking about it as a problem of "different learners" instead of boys vs. girls. For one thing, there are certainly girls who have some of these same problems (my wife was one when she was a girl, actually). And secondly, if it's framed as a boys' issue then it will be met with the predictable resistance from you-know-who.
