This little note (the part I bolded) was disturbing to me:
The researchers looked at the average of the test scores of all students, the performance of the most gifted children and the ability to solve complex math problems. They found, in every category, that girls did as well as boys. (To their dismay, the researchers found that the tests in the 10 states did not include a single question requiring complex problem-solving, forcing them to use a national assessment test for that portion of their research.)
TEN states!
*sigh*
I am glad they're finally figuring out that girls can do math though. It's about time!!!
