apart of things. Nowadays women go around calling themselves girls instead of women. One reason for this could be that they want to feel young and when they hear woman it makes them feel old. A guy in one of Kleinman’s class was in a frat that decided to open their doors to girls. There was a big question floating around whether or not to call the girls who joined brothers or sisters or get rid of the labels all together. The girls in the frat voted on being called brother or sisters and…
Since, I can remember I have always been the shy, quiet type. I did not speak, unless spoken to, made friends, but never put effort in keeping them, because there was no point in keeping friends when I knew I would have to move the next school year or half way through the year; however, that all changed in the middle of my third grade year. IT happened. The BIG move. Well, not really. We were still in the same state, just 352 miles away from everything I have ever known. The moved shifted my…

who transitioned from childhood to adulthood. The rite of passage that I witnessed was a Quinceanera, a Quinceanera is a coming of age celebration/ceremony that symbolizes a girls transition from childhood to adulthood/womanhood.

After…

parents do not recognize. When we are placed within a small group of individuals we often find ourselves, or change into the person we wish to become. Because the plastics lack within- group diversity, they are all expected to act the same, dress the same on certain day, and even think the same.

When Cady tells the girls she is considering joining the mathletes they tell her…

Does being in a single-gendered classroom increase girls’ math achievement? In these two research studies I am going to see if that statement appears to be true.

I hope that these two studies will benefit parent’s decisions on whether or not they will send their girls to a single-gendered school. In my…
