(1) Research has shown that when teachers are asked to nominate their best students or those with the
  most potential, they are more likely to nominate boys than girls. (2) They are especially likely to name
  boys as most skilled in mathematics. (3) Even when the differences between boys and girls is minimal,
  teachers who are asked to think of students who excel in language or social skill are more likely to name
  girls. (4) Boys receive more disapproval from teachers than girls do during preschool and elementary
  school, even when boys and girls engage in similar amounts of disruptive behavior. (5) Teachers pay
  more attention to a girl when she sits quietly in the front of the classroom, whereas the amount of
  attention paid to a boy is high regardless of where he sits. (6) Within elementary school classrooms,
  teachers tend to call on boys more often than girls and give them more explicit1
   feedback regarding their
  answers. (7) When girls answer, they are more likely to receive a simple acceptance from the teacher
  (okay), whereas boys tend to receive more praise, constructive criticism, or encouragement to discover
  the correct answer. (8) Thus, boys receive more explicit academic instruction and tend to dominate
  classroom interactions.
