I wonder if the reason girls in general do not like math and science is partly because their generally female teachers, who do not have mathematical aptitude, manage to convince them that girls just aren't good at such things, in order to make themselves feel betteR? On a subconscious level, I mean.

I went to an all girl HS, and most of my math and science teachers were male. This school expected us all to excel, and most of us did. In fact more than 85% of my graduating class received some sort of scholarship to college, including to IVY Leagues.

All that said, I sucked at math and science.

Would you admit to being a poor reader? Hm...would you? NO! You would be ashamed to admit that.

Yet,,,people will willing admit to being poor at math and science. Amazing! Why would you broadcast your inability and deficiency like that?
