But your point was that the schools are failing the girls. Here you point to societal norms rather than schools. Where is the evidence that it is the schools that are the problem (I very well could have missed it if you already posted it).
So schools are apart from "societal"?
Schools are what we use to "engineer" the society.
There was a reason why girls were sent to Home ec and boys to Shop.
However, it is much less effective nowadays, because of the rise of the media outlets and internet.
Your kids are being brainwashed on the fly these days, w/o you even know it.
And, I am not arguing this as a bad thing.
Maybe it is for the better girls to take the home ec and boys the shop..........................
