Science Gender Gap - Blog Entry

09 Apr 2007 08:31 AM

Hi Kari, I think it's a combination of both, but biology DOES play a large part in it. The brains of men and women are physically different. That doesn't mean that girls can't do well in math and science (I have a couple of chess geeks for girls!). It does mean that they tend to approach it differently, however. Interesting reading.

Sorry 'bout that, drey. I got my email today, too. The "error" was in two places. I think they should've honored the deals. Instead, now they collected our emails :-(

You live back east, right? It's probably a LOT harder to get in. For us, they were just about begging for people *s*. Good luck! Have you tried visiting your congressman directly? We're going to go that route (ours lives within 30 minutes, though, and is accessible.) We definitely need more "Homeschoolers on the Hill". I'm hoping that it will nurture that spark in him, and that later he'll go into politics. I was very encouraged by the number and the strength of conviction of the representatives who spoke!

Too Clean for Good Health? - Blog Entry

I used to work for someone who'd never been sick a day in his life. His secret? He used to swim in the East River when he was a kid. Said it made his immune system so good that nothing was going to shake him! Good blog!

I hear you :-). My grandpa used to say that arguing with a pig only serves to make the farmer angry. (Not that people with different views are pigs *s*, but that when there's no actual communication, it's pointless.)
