I have heard of no school that has a program to increase risk taking in boys, nor do I know of any teacher education that instruct teachers to teach boys in taking more risk. Could you explain why you are suggesting that some do? What schools could do is educate about actually risks, so that any personal or cultural level of risk aversion is confronted with reality. That would be treating children of both genders equally and could mitigate differences between genders. |

Those biases are subtextual, but very powerful. There's a nice recent article demonstrating some of them: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2014/12/wom...
