I have plenty of very intelligent boys in class, but it's much more difficult to get them to stay on-task and engaged. Not that all the girls are model students to be sure, but by and large, they are a bit more easy to manage. "I thoroughly disapprove of duels.

Course, what that meant for us music and art folk was that they were gonna be yanked out of our classes for extra time with math and the like.

Okay, wait a minute. I have to be fair here (aside from the fact that it was just a tease in the first place). Saying boys are harder to teach isn't an indication of their intelligence, you guys know that. But maybe someone should look into it, that there might be something hormonal or genetic that makes them have the shorter attention spans and have more difficulty learning, or sitting still to learn? Probably a dozen studies, no doubt, but nothing being DONE about it, if I were to take a guess... I definitely don't see it as a measure of inate intelligence. Given you three are all from the teaching profession, you have my sympathy (that takes GUTS these days, not to mention being willing to live like a pauper and get no respect to boot!). But you ARE viewing it from a teaching standpoint, and I think we all know (well, those of us who aren't just drunk or stupid) that difficulty learning doesn't equate to lower IQ, right?

We have several standards to address (within an 80 min 22 day every other day periods of some of us) and at least 20 students (or maybe even 50 or 60+ in a band or choir). It's not really fair, but I just have to go with how I can teach best and reach the most kids. I'd love to have leave 'no child left behind' but sometimes that is beyond my control. And of course the parents and kids you need to see more of are the ones you never hear from, while someone else's little miss/mister perfect should shouldn't be getting an B but an A like they do everywhere else and obviously this is my fault. Also not helping when they are yanked out of my class (when they're already doing poorly here) for more time with the math lessons that still aren't sticking... EDIT: I noticed that some classrooms have two teachers in them now, which is awesome. One can lead the class as a whole with the other patrolling for stragglers and helping them catch up. I wish I could teach in a two teacher class, but for some reason have 2 band directors to teach 40 or 50 something students makes less sense than having 2 math teachers teach 20 math students...

Oh, Happy, I wasn't dissing teaching in ANY way, I know how overburdened the educational system is these days and that you guys are forced to teach "en masse" as it were.

Can't argue with the intelligence angle, though. Here's a link comparing gender intelligence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_and_intelligence I was a bit surprised to see that men tended to average a few points higher on IQ tests. They also tend to be overrepresented in the top 2% and in the bottom 2% of intelligence tests. Also, another interesting tidbit in the article was that perhaps the slight edge in IQ between males and females is somehow connected to height. As far as Niki's post goes, though, I'm sure she was being a bit tongue in cheek. Men as the "weaker" sex might need to be defined a bit. From the article, it was clear that men don't take care of themselves as well as women, and this may partially contribute to their shorter lifespans. I also agree with the poster who said men are slower to seek medical help (though I'm just guessing on that). I'm sure there are other reasons though -- perhaps higher estrogen levels? On to the word "weaker", though. We haven't defined it, since this isn't a serious discussion, so I won't belabor it. Obviously (I think), men are on average physically stronger than women. I was wondering about pain tolerance, though. I've often joked with my wife that if the human race were dependent on males bearing children, we would quickly go extinct...
