Gender differences in composition (writing)

Sep 18, 2012 by

A new study says girls write better than boys – and we’re not talking about handwriting. Students in 8th and 12th grade were asked to write to persuade, to explain and to convey and experience. The girls in 8th grade scored 160 (average), and the boys were 140. In 12th grade, the girls were 157 vs. 143 for the boys.
