Authorities say it isn't because girls can't do well in math and science, but society just didn't expect them to excel in those subjects. Many people didn't even expect them to take those classes. Female high school students those notions. Every year, Utah has a high school mathematics competition, and more young ladies are competing well with the male students, according to teachers the contest. who oversee This year, girls took the top two prizes in the annual Westing-hous- e Science Talent Search, the first time in the contest's history.
