After women graduate from school, most are forced into motherhood and have no idea to begin because they didn't stay at home with their mothers and are unable to rise to the task and eventually feel defeated. This cycle goes forever on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072440028440011959.post-39724369482159124352011-06-21T19:19:00.190-04:002011-06-21T19:19:00.190-04:00That is why homeschooling is the solution to the p...That is why homeschooling is the solution to the problem. The normal ratio of children to adults is about 4 to 2 children. Parents uncles grandparents vs children and their cousins. <br /><br />The ratio is not 20 children to 1 adult as in the public education system. Many problems arise from this. I personally always felt that it is safer for me on the streets than it was in the public schools.creatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958399801620862532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072440028440011959.post-19805747020590550422011-03-07T19:45:25.205-05:002011-03-07T19:45:25.205-05:00How do you explain how much better females do in a...How do you explain how much better females do in all levels of education compared to males? Especially during the elementary through high school years, girls make up the vast majority of nation wide class presidents, valedictorians, AP Exam takers, National Honor Society presidents, top ten percent of class, etc. Girls score better on standardized tests and make up 57% of college goers.<br />If they are so unfocused and set on being mediocre in school, why do they do so much better than those boys you say are more easily..um... able to focus in school?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01108200228987716621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072440028440011959.post-17899527440630793132009-05-22T06:50:25.336-04:002009-05-22T06:50:25.336-04:00I am outraged by this article.

Not only is it sexist, but it's sterioustyping, one sided and completely false.<br />I have many points i would like to raise.<br />Firstly, "Girls make girls unhappy!" What kind of sexist remark is that!?!?<br />Girls do NOT make each other UNHAPPY! They make each other HAPPY! My girlfriends are the people who keep me going in tough times, get me through a boring day and give me events to look forward to! <br />You have steriotyped girls as people who talk about each other behind their backs, compete for better clothes and compare ring sizes! This is not at all true. If the only girls you have known in your life have been like this, you are on in a million! Sure, there are a couple of 'mean' girls at school who talk about people when theyre not around, but only a couple! Most girls care for each other! They help each other! Girlfriends are people who encourage you, congratulate you, help you, give advice, give your life some fun!<br />And they definitely do not hold back a person's education. And what is this whole deal with girly girls?? Girly girls aren't your steriotypical, shopoholic, nasty bimbos!<br />I'm a real girly girl! I have lots of girlfriends, love shopping, love sleepovers and I liek to wear dresses, makeup and jewelery!<br />I'm also a good student. Mostly As, some Bs. I'm skipping a year of maths in an excellerated course!<br />My next point, girls do not behave differently around girls, they do not try to impress their friends. Girls try to impress BOYS! Most people would say "I think girls should be kept away from boys durinf education." how could you even think "Girls should be away from the same sex during education"!?!?!<br />Girls act NATURAL around girls. They act THEMSELVES! They show their creative, wacky side! Around boys, many act ditsy, witty, smart, dumb or try to make themselves more attractive.<br />Now talking about boys, earlier I said this article is sexist. You've only mentioned how girls act around girls. What about boys acting around boys?<br />They're just as likely to compete and compare - cars, girls, who has the best iPod, whos better at football???<br />That's fine if you believe your points, but I think you need to take a closer look at both sides of the argument, meet some genuine girls and realise that girls HELP girls reach their full potential.<br />Stop steriotyping, and start realising that powerful women could benefit from a few girlfriends.sarahk.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013966986692059672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072440028440011959.post-81781085454544921132008-12-10T12:43:00.000-05:002008-12-10T12:43:00.000-05:00I agree that schools offer a negative socializatio...I agree that schools offer a negative socialization experience - for both boys and girls. It is fear-based, competition driven, and tends to bring out the worst in everybody. <BR/><BR/>Yet, I believe that we can create positive learning centers where forming nurturing, affirmative relationships is part of the "curriculum". (Of course, the first positive relationship must be with self.) At <A HREF="http://www.selfdesign.com" REL="nofollow">SelfDesign</A>, we are building these amazing learning communities. <BR/><BR/>My 6 year-old daughter is extremely social and loves being with other children - girls and gentle boys. She needs a learning community that affirms and nurtures her. And I agree completely that it is not natural to have only 6 year olds around - mixed ages offers a wonderful learning opportunity. <BR/><BR/>I envision a time when "schools" are viewed the same way as the horse and buggy. Thanks for your great work on this path.Caprice Pitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664878358088028497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072440028440011959.post-13891125563800257572008-12-05T16:13:00.000-05:002008-12-05T16:13:00.000-05:00You make good points, but if these girls don't kno...You make good points, but if these girls don't know how to handle being alienated at a young age they may never learn which can lead to social awkwardness and they will be outcasts even as adults. Just because your Hana had a bad school experience doesn't mean that schools should exclude all girls. I have had a wonderful school experience and excel in all of my classes. I do not feel the need to compete over trivial matters such as clothes, but I do have many friends.Layla Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890634102355065755noreply@blogger.com
