Why are highschool girls less successful at math than guys, on average? Of course, this isn't always the case. I know many girls who are good at it, but they're a minority. A minority of girls enrols and remains in math majors. I think the disparity arises in childhood games and past-times.
Is it maybe a psychological block? A friend of mine had excellent grades in all highschool subjects (straight A's in humanities, very good in foreign languages and even sciences) except math, which she failed as a senior.
If they see it as boring and useless in life (o yea, female charms gt you anywhere), why don't guys feel the same way about it?
