What's wrong with changing maths programs so some girls get it better, if that's indeed going to help them? I personally never noticed any sex differences in the people who did advanced maths at my school, so I am 99% certain this is not going to work -- but let's say it did? I'm for it. I mean, it's just an application of the whole principle of tailoring education methods to the needs of the particular student. My only demand would be that it's not advertised as a "girls' maths program", but given some non-gender specific name so that it doesn't mess up the social factors surrounding this discrepancy.
