[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How strange that there’s a girl/guy ratio difference for a large public. Dies it offer a lot of traditionally female professions - nursing, teaching, etc. [/quote] [b]Undergraduate education in the U.S. is getting close to 60% female, 40% male. [/b] There is going to be a significant ratio difference at most schools. [/quote] Why is this? Any theories? What are the other males doing?[/quote] I think it’s more than theories. Girls have better executive functioning skills and their pre-frontal cortex develops earlier. ADHD presents very differently too. They are outperforming boys in objective measurements from K through college. And anyone who has raised both boys and girls or worked with them in schools will tell you that girls are better at managing their workload and sitting down and having the self discipline to plow through the schoolwork. Men do have higher numbers in engineering and hard sciences, largely because their is a female brain drain in these areas around MS. [/quote]
