According to researchers David and Myra Sadker of The American University in Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the classroom They found that when boys call out answers, teachers usually listen and offer constructive comments When girls call out answers, teachers tend to focus on the behavior rather than the content of the response and are likely to say something like, “Please raise your hand to speak." Underlying gender stereotypes is the belief that differences between sexes are not only innate and natural, but also somehow necessary The emphasis on differences begins at birth and progresses through childhood For example, few people would give pink bootees to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl Later, many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets There is nothing inherently wrong with girls playing house or boys building things The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one sex, but not the other (Adapted from Reading Academic English) Question 30: Which best serves as the title of the passage?
