Yet another study is outlined in this article outlining that "eighth-grade boys received eighty-six percent of the criticism and discipline in science classes and that they monopolized the discussion by yelling out questions and answers".
The article goes as far as to mention that research has found elementary school boys to be more encouraged to partake in "more exploratory and large-motor activities than girls". This goes into the idea that teachers through this action prepares boys and not girls to do higher math.

At many coed schools, it's not "cool" for kids to be excited about school. The game of who likes who, who's going out with who, who's cool and who's not, is what's really important at most coed schools. That's seldom the case at single-sex schools. Edison Trickett and Penelope Trickett, comparing students at private single-sex schools in the United States with students at private coed schools in the United States, found that students in the single-sex schools had a far more positive attitude toward academics than did students in coed schools. This finding held for both boys and girls. The students at the single-sex schools also developed better organizational skills, and were more involved in classroom activities.
