What do I care? As everyone here knows, I am a female chauvinist pig and would gleefully drown underperforming male students like puppies if I ran the Department of Education. More seriously, I'm going to place my bets on Oneman. Nope, not me either. What do I care?

This quotation jumped out at me: Between 1992 and 2002, the gap by which high school girls outperformed boys on tests in both reading and writing–especially writing–widened significantly.
