But reality always intrudes.

"1. More girls than boys graduate in the top 10% and the second 10% of their classes

2. Far more girls than boys have GPAs of A+, A and A- while far more boys than girls have GPAs of C or below
Girls have a higher overall average GPA than boys

3. More girls than boys have completed more than four years of study in every one of six subjects reported

4. More girls than boys have taken high school AP courses and/or Honors courses in the six subjects reported"

Girls rule, boys drool, or is this sexism? Egad!

"1. Public schooling is obviously geared towards female traits

2. Except the SAT. Curious, when you test them objectively, the “academically inferior” win"
