Is this explanation not making a blatant assumption here that girls are statistically less hyperactive and distracted than boys?

Is that controversial (assuming otherwise normal children, excluding anybody with ADHD, etc)?
"Hyperactive and distracted" is not necessarily the exact reason, but there is a large, well documented gap in performance for boys vs girls in elementary school (at least in the US).
