Not if you measure it by graduation rates, at least in the US.

I also wasn't saying that dissatisfaction among young boys was the result of a swing toward teaching better for girls. The adjustment of teaching styles in the US is mostly a middle school phenomena and hasn't had any impact at the pre-k/K levels. The early push for academics is coming from parents and the testing mania of the standards movement.
