Boys do better in math than girls. Most teachers are girls. What did we expect?

I am a girl (woman). I am very good in math. Most of my classmates in college who were female were even better in math. Most of the students I have taught in math who have been good were girls. This is an old stereotype that is false. Girls are generally better students than boys because they will make the effort.

Boys do better in math than girls. Most teachers are girls. What did we expect? On the SAT, I did better on the math than the verbal. I also did better on the math than 99% of boys or girls - and I'm a girl.
But if we assume your premise is correct, and math education is inferior because most teachers are female, how do boys still manage to learn?
