The idea
Teachers tend to give boys more attention, by ten to thirty percent, and more public talk; boys are praised for correct knowledge and criticized for misbehavior, while girls are praised for compliance and criticized for incorrect answers.
In practice
A teacher calls on boys who shout answers and thanks girls for sitting quietly.
Where people slip
These are trends teachers can choose to change.
