Girls are encouraged to play with toys that help foster language and human relations skills. As a result,they can grow up not knowing how an engine works or how to build a model from directions. Second, studies have shown that teachers dont expect girls to be good at math. Even female math and science teachers pay more attention to boys in class and call on boys more often.
