A condensed version of this is that girls perform 4% of a standard deviation better under female teachers, while boys do 4% of a standard deviation worse, making a gender performance gap of 8% of a standard deviation--in one year. This will compound over the life of the student. Since in the years up to 6th grade, at least 91% of reading teachers, 72% of math teachers, 68% of science teachers, and 58% of history teachers are women, most boys experience an 8% of a standard deviation gap each year for around 6 years, then continuing until the percentage of male teachers reaches a peak of 68% (in 12th Grade History, only 21% in Reading).
