The biggest difference is that boys are about DOING and girls are about TALKING. That's not about just schools, but the last 400 years of men's and women's role on society. Boys don't typically learn by talking, they learn by pulling things apart and doing skills. In addition, because of all the push to "score" children, we've taken away the basic "boy" traits almost entirely. When I was in elementary school it went form 9am to 3pm with sn hour of recess AND half hour of lunch. There was plenty of time for boys to wiggle and make noise and stuff. My kids current schools were from 8am to 3:30pm with about 45 minutes between one recess and lunch/recess. That's more "chair time" than most office workers are expected in a workday. All the "hands on" things have been removed for cost... Art, music, shop, gym are all drastically scaled back to maybe one of each one time a week if at all. School is strictly "listen and repeat" and MOST boys in history don't learn that way. As modern skills like computers, machining, manufacturing,etc require equipment folks just don't have at home, most boys never have a shot at the typical "boy jobs" until they are 16 and go to a career center or go to college or start working.
