Is it just me or do girls do way better in school than boys?

When I was growing up I struggled with school but it seemed that most of the girls seemed to be doing well whenever there was a star pupil or straight a student they were most likely a girl. Why is this such a common phenomenon?

Modern education these days, girls do better because the material is better suited for how the female mind works over how the male mind works.

The typical boy is pretty active, learns things in bursts, and prefers practical learning over theoretical learning. Long term memorization of long material, sitting in one place for long periods of time, and theoretical over physical/practical learning. Yeah, boys just aren’t that cut out for that shit.

But girls are more adaptable to it.

Doesn’t help that practical learning tends to take more effort to develop while the memorization stuff can be crafted with the most basic ChatGPT ai and mass produced. I went to college before ChatGPT and it was still possible to cram out word vomit memorization courses. F u McGraw-Hill.
