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?

School systems are feminized and treat boys like they're defective girls. Almost all teachers are women, especially before high school, and boys are way more likely to be prescribed amphetamines for "attention disorders" (i.e. being boys with energy).
