Reasons to be grateful for your education: Girls

  Now, this article is about why Girls should be grateful for being able to study in an appropriate school. In the olden days, some girls went to very poor schools, or some none at all. The girls all wanted to be able to receive an education, which was not thought necessary in the years around the 1960s. Girls were though to belong in the house, taking care of the chores and all the rest while the men went to school. Boys needed to go to school more than girls did as they had to find good jobs to support the family. Therefore, going to school wasn't as treasured to boys as to girls. Those girls who had managed to receive an education treasured it greatly and the fear of not being able to study anymore was great. The girls who were fortunate enough to be receive an education needed to get good grades in order to be allowed to continue studying. Otherwise, if they had poor results, the mother would think that it was a waste of money to send her girl to school and stop it immediately while the boys were not threatened to stop. Even if they scored a zero, it is most likely that they would still be allowed to continue with their education.
  Nowadays, children wish that there was no school, the feeling in which I believe they must change. School is treasured and your parents send you to school for your own sake, not to torture you. Some girls in the olden days didn't know how to read or write!
  So girls of the world, I hope you hear me say, "Please treasure your studies like girls in the 1960s would have! :)"

  Sincerely,
Kirsten Clare
