Boys require more physical activity. They're just wired for it. Sitting at a desk for hours on end is incompatible with their physiology. Sitting like that isn't good for girls, either, but they seem to cope better. Schooling, as it is widely administered today, is not humane. It's not that it benefits one sex. It's that it hurts one more than it hurts the other. If you have a boy who's on the verge of failing because he can't pay attention, make a serious effort to get him several hours of moderate or intense physical activity every day. You'll see a world of difference.
