There is a direction that should additionally be investigated and that is how schools can be improved. Is it just the curriculum or perhaps also the fact that teaching isn't a highly valued profession anymore.

Some people say high achiever should go into the economy, it is only right that they earn more. I think these thoughts don't really come from high achievers.

because 90% of teacher are girl!

or because since 1980 all the teaching method used by teacher are designed for girl learning style and none are designed for boy learning style!

Because there are no incentive for boy to work hard and get good grade because they never receive praise for good work.

Isn't the answer extremely obvious? Girls grow up faster than boys, while boys have a longer growing period that extends further (or is equal to) than the schooling period. I'd be interested in seeing an extended study in the general differences between the study progress of girls and boys seperated by school year and age.
