Teaching methods in use today were designed in a time when girls were behind and they needed to focus on them. It's no big secret. There's hardly anybody left who knows how boys learn. Except maybe grumbler. All the colleges of education are staffed with people who came up during that time too, so their innovations tend to be further in the same direction.
