Yes, 100%. If people want to honestly ask "what has changed in the last 30 years?", video games have absolutely changed the profile of how boys spend their time. And, if we're being honest: porn.[/quote]

We are living in a time of pollution, microplastics, endocrine disruptors, etc.[/quote]

This is the only part of your comment that could possibly explain the recent changes in performance [/quote]

These are gender neutral factors that impact boys and the girls the same.

ADHD also affects boys and girls about the same.  For girls, it’s ADD. For boys it’s AHD.

What really happened:  Girls used to get little education two three generations ago.  At that time, no parents paid any attention on girls academics.  Versus nowadays, a large percentage of educated parents emphasize on education for both genders.  Parents places the same expectations on the girls, and finally their performance is catching up.[/quote]

It wasn’t just that parents placed less emphasis on girls’ education (though certainly a factor). Professors as recent as the 1960s that I know of sometimes said things like female student earned A but it’s curved so I’m switching your grade to a B because the boys need the As for their careers. High school girls were earlier stripped of being valedictorian because again the boys needed the accolades. [/quote]
