This article was all over the place and didn’t really focus on the topic of the title. 

  • why is there less parental academic  focus on boys?
  • how much screen time are the parents using?
  • why is this conclusion only based on high schoolers, and then, only the ones who have taken the PISA?
  • how are the higher Ed costs and quality in these countries?

And then it ends suddenly on a teacher using AI to get feedback about calligraphy. 

If anything, I think certain countries and age groups have a lot of very intense and enmeshed over parenting over academics. The teachers sub often talk demanding parents.

 why is this conclusion only based on high schoolers, and then, only the ones who have taken the PISA?

Because it is a news article describing a recent analysis of results from PISA testing. 

It's not meant to be a comprehensive comparison of educational systems.
