Teachers pass math anxiety to female students, study finds - latimes.com
By the spring, 20 of the girls subscribed to the math-is-for-boys stereotype; they were more likely to have been taught by math-anxious teachers. The girls scored an average of 102.5 on a test that asked them to count shapes and do simple addition and subtraction.
The average scores were higher for the other students: 107.8 for the remaining 45 girls and 107.7 for the 52 boys.
