On its face, it is obvious that there are differences between males and females at all age groups. I think a core issue is when we try to pretend like males and females are the same. In male dominated workplaces, women find it difficult to adapt to how men do things. In female dominated schools, boys find it difficult to adapt to how girls do things. When 98.1% of pre-school and kindergarten teachers are female it's no surprise that boys are disciplined more often, disciplined more harshly and test poorer on reading and other academic achievement measures than girls. Elementary school as a whole isn't much better with 90% of teachers being female. The first 6 years of each boy's academic life is spent trying to adapt him to how girls behave and how girls learn. Failing to adapt in such a manner leads to punishment and recommendations of holding him back until he is as mature as his younger female peers despite his academic ability.
