subject: GIRL CAN`T ESCAPE SEXISM

-> I wonder.  Same seems to be true in my neck of the woods in
-> NY.  We still get the disparity in AP physics and Calc, but
-> in virtually every other area I don't see any difference in
-> male/female representation....
But part of the reason for the single-sex math/science for girls was to
increase enrollment in higher math and science classes. While it is
reassuring that the other areas have approximately equal representation,
do you not find it a bit of a problem that there is still this unequal
representation in Calc and Physics?
BTW, This past year I had 22 girls in AP Calc in a class of 35 total
enrollment. A pleasant reversal of the normal situation (it's the first
time I've seen the girls outnumber the boys at that level).
