Girls get better grades.
Girls, allegedly timorous and lacking in confidence, now outnumber boys in student government, in honor societies, on school newspapers and in debating clubs. The list goes on. You may have heard that boys outperform girls in math and science. That is true, but the gap is closing. Boys are more often suspended.
