"But why should boys be falling behind, in so many different countries?"
George Gilder talked about this years ago. A couple of reasons are: (1) girls on the average develop the sensory and motor skills valuable in school a year or two before boys; and (2) boys' biology makes it harder for them to adjust to the extended periods of physical inactivity required by school. They get bored and distracted easier than girls.

But those differences should have been there from the start. The question is, why are those differences growing so rapidly today when compared to those doifferences measured just 30 years ago.
My answer: Feminist liberal destruction of anything that wasn't overtly pro-female. THe pendulum has swung the other way, and is continuing, with little in sight to slow its progress or even point it out... other than those insignificant 1-percenter right-wing fascists who should be ignored, shouted down, and kept out of the electoral process and mainstream media, of course.

Wrong.
Boys have led these studies for decades. Their "biology' was the same then as now...except for the fact they now are loaded with ritalin and other psychotropic drugs.
The lesbian power elite has succeeded in their "achievements" at the expense of boy's mental health, physical well-being, emotional growth and future success.
Anyone with sons in college knows the truth of this.
