Of course, this is a huge generalization, but...as a teacher, four thoughts:
1) Boys tend to be more rambunctious and schools tend to be geared towards sedate activities.
2) Girls tend to mature sooner.
3) For whatever reason, boys seem to be "expected" to misbehave, therefore they do more often misbehave, and then do poorer.
4) To add to #1, girls tend to do better on paper pencil tasks because they are focused, even from a young age, on verbal skills and communication while boys do better at hands-on activities. Today's schools are more focused on paper and pencil tasks.

Girls are more tenacious and focused compared to boys who'd rather play around. Plus, girls have better performance in rote memory (which is handy for objective type tests). Boys, especiallly adolescents have other preoccupations--like dreaming and fantasizing of girls. It is all about attitude and behavior, actually. But boys tend to outperform girls in cognitive examinations (essays).

A recent study found that boys learn better from men -- and girls learn better from women.
In the earlier grades, there are more women teachers than men teachers which gives girls an advantage.

i decide for to propose you're taking a femminist direction in college. some theories are so precis, you would be falling head over heals with a guy very rapidly, or you will in simple terms recognize that situations are changing. women are placing out to make greater funds, and starting to be to be the breadwinners. the two way, won't be able to have your cake and devour it too, hun.

Well c'mon, just look at a lot of the boys nowadays.
Too much into the bling bling and talking a lot of smack, but have no clue how to actually accomplish anything.
What a waste.

Where do you get your info from? Boys score HIGHER than girls on almost all standardized tests. and this is coming from a girl.

studying requires concentration and stillness. sitting in a chair and learning is no fun in my book. i think much much better on my feet and with a heres how i do it now you do it teaching style. i would imagine that girls learn a little different than that.

Maybe it's because girls mature faster.
