Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2974212, member: 6118"] Boy [USER=7631]@Bigboote[/USER] --[B]-I wholeheartedly agree. Like you I have seen the personality they were born with, they are as adults.[/B] I began college as a very challenged math student. I had a tutor that taught me how to think in mathematical terms and although it wasn't easy I began to love math. My children were overwhelmingly girls. I began early telling them they could do anything they wanted. One in 5th grad was adding, subtracting multiplying in different bases. She went to MIT. Another in the Medical field (science based), One Psychology Law (Harvard). The point is you can nudge or push and they choose. It isn't Male vs Female as some tend to think. It isn't that schools push girls away from those courses. It is an individual decision, usually. Some didn't want the intense education demanded by Math/Science others just had no interest in that area. [/QUOTE]
