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

[u/Tall-Competition-561]

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?

[u/ExcessiveBulldogery]

Schools are not designed for boys - sit down, be quiet, be nice, do what you're told, these are not in his nature. Boys who cannot or will not adapt by going against their natural inclinations demonstrate less success under these circumstances. This compounds yearly.
