Education is not a spectator sport . Numerous researchers, most recently John Goodlad, former dean of education at the University of California at Los Angels find author of "A Place Called Schools have shown thaw when students participate in classroom discussion they hold more positive attitudes toward school, and that positive attitudes enhance learning. It is no coincidence that girls are more passive in the classroom and score lower than boys on SATs.

Most teachers claim that girls participate and are called on in class as often as boys. But a three-year study recently completed found that this is not true; vocally, boys clearly dominate the classroom. When we showed teacher and administrators a film of a classroom discussion and asks who was talking more, the teachers overwhelmingly said the girls were. But in reality, the boys irk the film were out talking the girls at a ratio of three to one.
