This makes it unlikely that girls are naturally smarter than boys. However, they consistently do better than their male peers academically. School success requires much more than intelligence alone. high scores require study and hard work, and this is where girls may gain an advantage. Girls read more,are more attentive in class, take better notes, spend more time on homework and show greater persistence on boring or frustrating tasks. They are also less likely to behave poorly in school.

The American fabled commitment to freedom of opportunity for upward mobility has never been universal.American Indians and African Americans were denied basic rights by law for much of American history, and only in recent decades has there been the beginning of national efforts to right these historical injustices.Efforts to incorporate other minority groups, including immigrants from Europe,Asia and Latin America(including those of Spanish heritage in annexed lands)have been uneven.
