1) Hmmm. What does the research say, legislators. by Anonymous Citizen on June 12, 2006
I've seen many favorable studies. Equal funding would, of course, be key. Why don't you ask the American Association of University Women what THEY think. They might have experience and suggestions. I know they give workshops on gender equity techniques in education. Their opinion might be valuable.

3) Grade level this is implemented is key, I think. by Anonymous Citizen on June 12, 2006
When do other states do this? At what grades has it been MOST successful. And don't you think they would be RESPONSIBLE enough to fund it EQUALLY. We're not living in the dark ages.
