大众媒体提出这样的观点：美国教育体系正在经历一场“男孩危机”，男孩在多个方面都在输给女孩。在这里，我们在小学早期的数学和阅读成绩的背景下分析这些说法。我们得出两个结论。首先，到三年级结束时，白人男孩的数学成绩几乎在整个分布范围内都超过了白人女孩；其他种族的证据较少。其次，在所有种族中，从幼儿园开始到三年级结束时，男孩的阅读能力都落后于女孩，但只有成绩最低的男孩在前 4 年才会落后；男孩在一年级和三年级之间取得进展。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The popular press has put forth the idea that the US educational system is experiencing a "boy crisis," where boys are losing ground to girls across multiple dimensions. Here, we analyze these claims in the context of math and reading achievement during early primary school. We reach two conclusions. First, white boys outperform white girls in math across virtually the entire distribution by the end of third grade; there is less evidence for other races. Second, boys lag behind girls in reading at the start of kindergarten and at the end of third grade across all races, but only the lowest-achieving boys lose ground over the first 4 years; boys gain ground between first and third grades.
