Comment on Parents overestimate sons’ maths skills more than daughters’, study finds

Hmm. In my personal experience as a teacher, parents overestimate all skills of their children if their child is talkative and charismatic. The silent children are the only ones underestimated. Maybe the girls are generally just more silent and therefore underestimated more?

That does rather beg the question of whether boys or girls are encouraged to be loud.
But maybe they’re just picking up on teachers’ biases? Teachers Give Lower Math Scores to Girls
