Kids across the nation are getting ready to go back to school. For boys and girls, that means the excitement of seeing friends and learning new subjects. But does gender make a difference?

A meta-analysis published by the American Psychological Association examines gender differences in schools across 300 countries and over nearly one hundred years. The findings may surprise you. It turns out girls have been getting better grades than boys for decades. Girls not only do markedly better in language classes, but they also outperform boys in math and science. (The female advantage in school performance in math and science does not appear until the adolescent years.) The review includes 300 studies involving more than one million participants from across the globe, from elementary school through graduate school. The majority of the participants were from the United States, but there are also children from Europe, Australia, and Asia. While girls received better grades, the evidence shows that boys typically score better on one-time tests, such as the SAT Reasoning Tests, which are used by many colleges in the U.S. The authors cite a myriad of reasons why girls may be performing better in school, and call for further investigation. It may be that parents encourage girls more than boys because they assume they need more help. Or, schools may be structured in favor of learning styles typically preferred by girls, the authors said. "One of the big questions this analysis raises is what happens to these gains once individuals enter the professional world, where adult males are more likely than women to hold the highest ranked positions regardless of professional focus or discipline," said Janis Whitlock, a research analyst at the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research. “This question, of course, is not novel; shifts in early and later achievement trends by gender have garnered an increasing amount of academic and public attention. Regardless of the reasons for these trends over time, meta-analyses such as this suggest that socialization and gender expectations play a significantly larger role than biologically-based capacity in determining individual academic and professional trajectories over time.” The takeaway: The fact that girls perform better in school compared to boys is nothing new. The real question lies in how these gender issues change over time, and what they mean for men and women in the workforce.

To make your man happy emotionally and sexually in your relationship, remember to be attentive to his needs and ready to try new things. For example, learn your man’s moods so that when he’s brooding you know to leave him alone, but when he’s upset and wants to be comforted you’re there for him. In addition to knowing your man’s emotional needs, encourage him by giving him sincere compliments, like "I know you'll ace your test" or "You'll do great at your interview." When it comes to his sexual satisfaction, learn what kinds of touches turn him on, like a kiss on the neck, a nibble on his ear, or a hand on the small of his back. Another way to make your man happy is to be more adventurous, such as trying new positions or making out in new places, like the movie theater or car. To learn how to give your man enough space to keep him happy, keep reading!
