  10. You are quite right about IQ distribution. I saw that in primary school. I was part of an experimental group, where gifted students were separated at age six and given advanced learning material. It began with an equal number of boys and girls. But by the time we were ten, there were eight boys and two girls. The other girls just couldn't keep up. As for proof that education is adversely affecting boys, I am not American and I am horrified by what I am hearing. This is not happening in all countries. It is not happening in my country. Boys behaviour is not seen as abnormal, it's more boys will be boys, and within reason, rough play is expected. It is recognised that boys and girls need opportunity for play outside through out the day. In very bad weather they are taken to a big shed for this purpose. This helps boys in particular to concentrate. I found your question about what age boys had previously left school very interesting. My knowledge of my own country is that this equally applied to girls in previous eras. Perhaps more so as they were very unlikely to have to support a family, where as young men would have to in order to ever marry. Again we have catered for both boys and girls who are intellectually disengaged with school. It's called school based apprenticeships, which become available at about 14 or 15. These boys, and I know women who became hairdressers this way, complete their trade school work and practical work for free in a highschool setting. At sixteen they are assisted into a wage producing apprenticeship. To put this in perspective, a good tradesman will earn far more than a university graduate by the age of 35 in my country, on average. Another interesting point was boys being more often to be suspended. Why? I have seen girls cry and carry on to escape punishment. But still my husband and I and most people my age, 50, believe they should not have stopped corporal punishment. The bad behaviour of boys was until relatively recently with getting your hand wacked by a cane, my husband assures me it was a genuine deterrent. Rewarding bad behaviour with an additional school holiday is not. I see suspended boys riding bikes and skate boards around town, happy as larry. As for females doing better at universities I have also noticed a huge increase in junk degrees. I also genuinely question the actual intelligence of spending your most beautiful and fertile years studying and establishing a career. I did not choose this path that has led to many women my age being involuntarily childless. I discouraged my daughters from this, and I gave a series of talks to teenager girls about twenty years ago. Instead in much more progressive era, where women are truly allowed to be women the best time to begin study is after marriage and children. I have had so much positive feedback from these talks, along with some regrets from young women who chose otherwise. Again in my country universities are not meant to be places you live in, except for students from overseas or very rural students. They are places you drive half an hour to like a job. And they are incredibly family/child friendly. This separation of universities from where you live, used to make them less political and less a scene of sexual irresponsibility. I've heard that nolonger as true as it was however.
