Learning is a very important aspect of our lives. From the moment we enter this world, until we die, we are always learning. Besides our parents, the educational component of our learning is left up to the school systems. As a matter of fact, most people go to school for at least 13 years, excluding post-secondary education which means we learn a lot of different information within those years.
In class I thought that it was interesting that white women during the post-revolutionary time was only allowed a little education so they could be able to have something to talk about with their husbands. In my opinion that was very selfish because if given an education they should have been able to get one for reasons other than pleasing their husband. …show more content…
Board of education. When we got on this topic my mind immediately thought about the movie “ruby bridges” This movie was about a little black girl who had the courage to be the first black child in her town to attend an all-white school. It was so sad that people went as far as taking their kids out of school because they didn’t want their kids learning with a black girl.

In WVFF, the bureau of labor reported that “Women made up 18 percent of the labor force in the 1900, almost 30 percent in 1950 and more than 70 million in 2013.” (Shaw and lee, pg 483). Despite the increase of women working they are still paid less than men. According to the notes in class regarding census bureau states that “Average women earn 78 cents to each dollar paid to men”( Hatch) I think that it is ridiculous that a woman with the same skills as a man is paid less because she is a
