Investigation
Aim – With the use of covert participant observation and study of secondary data, I will be analyzing and investigation the question “Why do girls do better at school than boys?” I will come to a conclusion on whether this question is correct and if it is true or not, then explaining the reasons why they do better or why they do not.
Hypothesis – We believe that girls do better in school and this is because most girls can multi task and think about their future much more than boys who are trying to “live in the moment”. Boys are also socialized into being violent and being slightly rebellious so will not concentrate enough in lessons. Girls are however socialized to be respectable and get a good job to help the family and also to be sensible so they can raise children. Finally I feel girls generally can be distracted one day for many reasons but keep quiet and everyone knows not to annoy them, but on the other hand boys if they get distracted tend to disturb everyone around them.

Adults that also believe girls do better the research showed.
