See this is why homeschooling just rocks. Most public schools are quite sexist in how they teach, especially science and math. I used to be PETRIFIED of both science and math and though that, like a lot of girls do, that I have an "literary" braing and not a "science/math" brain....what bullsh*t that is! My mom took us out of school in the 80's to homeschool me and my bro and sis because she got so tired of us being stupid!
It took me many many years to deprogram myself from all that garbage and I am now a Biology and Chemistry major (and Women's Studies minor)! I never in my life thought that that would be a subjects I could first even be good at and second even enjoy. I will not submit my girls to that same crap I went through. I see so many women even at my college who feel they are not smart enough or just can't do science and math and it makes me so upset.
My girls just think talking about things like chemistry (and they are only 2 and 6 and they know quite a bit I am proud to say), that math is fun is normal, they don't realize that most girls are scared of it and I hope to keep it that way for quite some time.
Ok, sorry for the semi-rant, but I just wanted to talk about that. I think all you moms are great!
**edited to add, sorry about the grammer and spelling, but I am to tired right now to go back and fix it....lol**
