A few things
to consider…
- Studies
show that girls lose interest and confidence during grade school.
- Women
who take more than two college level math courses often achieve pay
equity with men.
- Women
who choose non-traditional jobs have salaries 150% higher than their
peers in traditional jobs.
- Traditional
teacher training focuses on boy's interests as a means to keep order
in the classroom. (Boys tend to act out/ Girls tend to act in)
- As children
enter school, their early academic progress lays crucial groundwork
for successful development, including a sense of self - efficacy.
