Decoding Why Few Girls Choose Science, Math

Decoding Why Few Girls Choose Science, Math (washingtonpost.com):
"Teachers and scientists say that there are greater differences in learning styles within each sex than there are between the sexes and that any school or teacher that doesn't approach students as individuals is missing the mark. "

This topic relates nicely to the recent comment by Harvard Pres. Summers about women being inherantly weaker in the maths and sciences.

George T would ask, however, what are we doing wasting kids time with Math. The argument gets old...but he has a point. Even Nel says so. How can we get the kids to care? and love math and science?
