Gender roles, or a prehistoric, trivial aspect of human interaction is the norm on how we act, behave, and respond to things we have done. Words like “Traditional” and “Orthodox” make me sick; gender roles and stereotypes are not imperative in society. The responsibilities of the world aren’t delegated to certain genders.

With equal representation, all problems can be handled. It also allows troubled students respond better with women or men principals. For example, “...The percentage of public school principals who were female was 52 percent overall, 64 percent in primary schools, 42 percent in middle schools, 30 percent in high schools, and 40 percent in combined schools (table 2). The percentage of private school principals who were female was 55 percent overall, 75 percent in Catholic schools, 41 percent in other religious schools, and 62 percent in nonsectarian schools. The average age of public and private school principals was 48 and 52 respectively...” (Bitterman 3). Equality in education will
