 | TIMSS math scores increase five points for each 1% increase in the percent of teachers who are men. |
| The percent of a country's 12th grade boys who comprehend probability and statistics increases 1% for each 2% increase in the percent of that country's math teachers who are men. |
| Only half of American 12th grade boys, but more than two thirds in countries with mostly men math teachers, correctly answered a TIMSS probability and statistics question. |
| There is a direct relationship between responsible voting, the ability to detect political rhetoric, and knowledge of probability and statistics. |
| The low percent of men math teachers in the US threatens the integrity of the US Constitution, and ultimately undermines national security. |
| Zero percent of American 12th grade girls correctly solved math and physics problems. |
| American teachers are hired from the lowest 10 percentile of college graduates. |
