my experience as an applied math major in college 20 years ago and the father of a junior in high school and professional tutor is that the overall math competency of students had declined to the point that there is less statistical evidence of a sexual bias. IE the boys are failing as badly as the girls so they are approaching equality. the spin is that girls are improving while the reality is that boys are simply falling faster as they had further to fall.
