      The American Association of University Women has done a lot of
research on girls in the classroom over the years, and a number of their
reports are available at:

A patron wants a source that documents girls' unwillingness to answer
questions in class because if they appear to be smart, boys will find them
unattractive.

I've searched ERIC (Web site), ed.gov, Infotrac, Google, and browsed our
selection of books on teenagers and adolescents.

Thank-you for any leads.
