I found the results of the study very interesting, but I wonder why it was limited to boys. That seems kind of arbitrary. Why not all children?

- gaius 10y agoIf the same study was just girls, would you also object? The truth is that boys are falling behind academically, I think most normal people would agree that in a well designed educational system, gender would not factor in outcome.
- lpolovets 10y agoIt was less an objection than an honest question -- and I'd still have the same question if the study was just girls. One reason for the question is that I'd actually be curious to know if there's a difference in earning power based on gender (or income or other common variables).
