the complaint is filed against the public Milton High School, rather than the preparatory school Milton Academy

Oops! My mistake. I've edited things accordingly.

So I haven't read that article. But I have heard that since boys have higher energy levels, they raise their hands in class more, get called on more, and so benefit more from participating in class. I have also heard that since boys have higher energy levels, they get diagnosed with ADD more often, get disciplined more, and miss out on participating in class more. There's some truth in each story, I think.
