In the process of students' growth, we can often observe that there are significant differences in the performance of students of different genders at different stages. From elementary school to junior high school, girls are more outstanding, while in high school, boys are more prominent. Whether this change between the sexes is really related to its potential is worth in-depth understanding.
The stage of junior high school places more emphasis on the cultivation of students' basic qualities, and this stage pays more attention to students' diligence and mastery of basic knowledge. At this stage, girls are often more likely to stand out because they are more quiet and obedient and suitable for rote memorization. In contrast, some boys, although smart, lack effort and perseverance, resulting in unsatisfactory grades. Once entering high school, the selection focus is more on students' intelligence and comprehensive ability, which requires more comprehensive competition of intelligence, physical strength and perseverance. This shift has led to high school boys being more prominent in their level of seriousness and courage.
Excellent students also perform well in addition to studying, and hard work and intelligence are closely related. As a manifestation of intelligence, studying hard is not only for the pursuit of excellent grades, but also for enjoyment and fun. Girls are more likely to maintain stable grades due to their hard-working advantages in junior high school, but once they enter high school, which requires more thinking skills, some girls have a more obvious decline in grades due to lack of thinking skills.
When it comes to learning, many boys indulge themselves with the idea that they can succeed if they are smart. This kind of mental cue can lead to a lack of sustained effort in the face of difficulties, and a lack of performance in the all-round competition of intelligence, physical strength, and perseverance. And there are more boys who don't work hard but are smart in junior high school, making the problem of being smart not necessarily accompanied by diligence more prominent once they enter high school.
Unlike boys, who are more likely to indulge themselves, girls are more focused on their efforts and achievements. This motivation for self-demand makes girls pay more attention to improving their comprehensive ability in high school, and the psychology of not being willing to lag behind drives them to work harder. As a result, in a high school learning environment, girls have more room for improvement and are more likely to show their potential.
Boys and girls have different habits and ways of learning. Boys are more inclined to pursue results and focus on the effectiveness of problem solving, while girls are more process-oriented and think comprehensively and meticulously about problems. This difference leads to boys being better at dealing with challenges and competitions in high school, and being more courageous.
In high school, boys are more likely to move forward, not necessarily because they have more potential, but because boys have an advantage in the all-round competition of intelligence, physical strength, and perseverance. In contrast, girls pay more attention to their own efforts and breakthroughs, although the number of girls who excel in junior high school is higher, but when facing the challenges of high school, due to factors such as lack of thinking ability, some girls' performance decline is more obvious. Therefore, the difference in achievement between the sexes is not simply a reflection of the difference in potential, but more due to the difference in learning habits and expressions. Each student has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and the key is how to reach their potential and work hard to achieve their own growth and progress.
