55. Exactly.
Most of the boys I knew that did well in school were teased. Those that weren't teased were either extremely personable and outgoing, or had had friends dating back to kindergarten before anyone cared who was a 'nerd' or were also jocks in addition to being smart (hey it can happen, I have a brother like that).

From my experience - boys are just treated differently than girls within a family. Boys are often allowed to 'get away with' many things, are often allowed far more freedom, and are often given a pass on bad report cards. After all, boys will be boys, boys dont' get raped walking down the street, and boys have more energy and can't be expected to sit still in a classroom and do well. :sarcasm:
