Empowering Girls Through Education Choices

When little girls go to school, they're asked, "What do you want to be

when you grow up?" And they could say, a doctor, a

lawyer, an engineer, but the one thing they're not allowed to

say

is a mother. Because if they do, the response they'll get is,

"You want to be more than just a mother, don't you?"

Which is one of the most condescending and destructive things an

adult could say to a little girl, but it happens all the time

in American public schools. So little girls do what they're told.

They get good grades, they sign for student loans,

they go to college, they get

a job, they buy a house, they take out a mortgage, and

then they meet someone, and they get married, and they have

kids. And for many women, they decide at this point,

"You know what? I want to stay home and be with my

family." But they can't, because they have been

career trapped. Staying home is not

an option. They have too much debt.

And what should be happening in American schools is they need to bring

back home ec. They need to start celebrating family

again, and students should be taught,

especially little girls, should be taught how to

make money from home so that it's an option to them later in

life. And this is one of the things I focus on

when I teach

entrepreneurship, because a worthy education should give

young

people the flexibility to have options in life.

But that's not what's happening in the public school system.

It instead funnels our children into a trap.

And many of them, including our girls, become career

trapped. And our kids deserve so much better than

that.
