[quote=Anonymous]Boys frontal lobes are years behind girls in development. So looking at grades they got when they were 14 is going to disadvantage a lot of boys … and they won’t even apply when they see the acattergram for their gpa. It’s actually pretty depressing as the mom of a teen boy. He’s really smart and is very iijterested in a lot of things. His IQ is very high and he takes all the hardest classes because he likes learning. But his grades are very mediocre because he just isn’t organized with respect turning in work, making up missed tests, etc, the way his sisters are. His sister (who is not any smarter than him) is at a top 10 college, but he’ll be lucky to get into something in the 50-100 range. I feel like school now has a LOT of check the box assignments — much more than when I was in HS — and that all advantages the kids with high executive function. The girls have a huge advantage neurotically in EF at ages 14-16, at least. [/quote]
