You know the song -
It ain't me
It's the people that say
Men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today

It says that all around the U.S., educational statistics show huge academic gap between boys and girls. Boys are falling behind girls as early as elementary school. Even as they get older, they're losing out in academic skills compared to females. Girls outnumber boys on school honor rolls.
Years ago, there were stats that showed that girls were not succeeding in school because science and math were not being encouraged for girls. So what can be done to help the boys? I mean, really, all those smart girls are going to need some smart boys to date!
