Are Girls Cleverer Than Boys?

It's a fact that girls usually do better than boys even in such subjects as mathematics or science, and people used to think that those were more suitable for boys than for girls. There are some reasons for this. Boys and girls behave very differently in and out of school.

Here are only some examples of such differences. Boys make more trouble, while girls are usually well-behaved. In class boys often put up their hands to answer questions but give wrong answers. At the same time girls do not always put up their hands even if they know the answer because they are not one hundred percent sure. Girls spend more time than boys doing their homework as they care more about their progress at school and their grades. In the modern world girls are becoming a lot more ambitious.

Girls are more realistic, more down-to-earth. For example, boys spend a lot of time playing computer games and watching action films on television because they live in a world of their own fantasy. When girls use computers, they usually do it for some practical reason.

Ask a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy about his future career and he is very likely to tell you that he would like to get a lot of money or be a DJ or a basketball player. At the same time most of girls being more realistic, think of becoming teachers, doctors or managers. They choose careers where there's less unemployment as they want to have a secure future. The good news is, however, that later on boys become more interested in studies and even outdo girls as their examination results often show.
