Reading Don't Fix No Chevys

Never have I thought about the different ways that boys and girls learn in class. I mean, there are the stereotypical thoughts that boys perform better at History and Science, and girls excel in Language Arts, but I have never thought about the whys of how these ideas came about. It makes complete sense that boys who may not have an interest in sedate activities such as reading may struggle with it. Clearly it would benefit these students to read about topics that they enjoy as it will help their reading skills and peak their interest. This is a nice way to differentiate their content while still getting them to learn the skills.
