(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.
