people think students need to be in school so long every year for actual educational reasons
people get offended when you point out that it largely functions as a ‘daycare’ for younger kids
we’ve had both parent working be the norm for decades now… and somehow we still don’t have a school system that addresses that
I honestly think that the main reason for the male/female become gap is the above. Discrimination exists, but I think it is more an issue of women being more likely to compromise their work life to take care of kids… and therefore being less useful to work… so being paid less for it.
If we ACTUALLY fix that somehow, we’d be much more inclusive and free society.
