Also, NAEP, the “other studies that also show a possible correlation” – has a bad habit of greatly exaggerating minor statistical differences and blowing them out of proportion – quite literally. A 4 point statistical deviation between boys and girls in 2015 was marketed as “Boys Outperform Girls” etc as if it was a dramatic difference when in reality those 4 points are statistically weak. Compared to placebo, you couldn’t push that drug. It’s a sugar pill.
