A recent study shows that boys and girls learn differently. So maybe we can maximize (最大化)learning by teaching them in single gender (*别) programs.

    First, boys and girls see differently. Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space. In their opinion, a good teacher should move around the room constantly and be that object.

    The male eye is usually drawn to cooler colors like silver, blue, black, grey, and brown. It’s no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects like spaceships, cars, and trucks in dark colors instead of drawing a happy colorful family, like girls in their class. The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to textures(质地) and colors. They tend to like warmer colors —red, yellow, orange, and visuals with more details, like faces. Girls work well in circles, facing each other. Using descriptive(描写*的) phrases in presentations or lots of colors on the chalkboard can help get their attention.

    Boys and girls also hear differently. When someone speaks in a loud tone, girls interpret it as yelling. They think you’re mad and should quiet down. Girls are more sensitive to sounds. Girls’ teachers should notice the tone of their voices. Boys’ teachers should sound matter of fact, even excited.

    Boys’ nervous systems cause them to be more alert when they’re standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 20℃. Stress in boys tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. This won’t work for girls, who are more focused seated in a warmer room around 25℃. Girls also respond to stress differently. When exposed to a threat, blood goes to their guts(内脏), leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.
