Feminism and Diversity

I have been emphasizing academics their entire lives. One is planning on Electrical Engineering/Film Studies, and the other is planning on undergraduate Biology/Biochemisty/Creative Writing and then Medical School.

The biggest challenge I faced was getting both daughters into Algebra in 8th grade (it was a war). It is probably both girls weakest subject (but still straight As for both in it so far). They both have high verbal ability (especially the younger one). The older ones spatial is very good.

I have been very hands on, and my daughters are relatively bright (not genius level). They work very hard, and I tutor them extensively. I work with my daughter on the math and chemistry problems. What amazes me are the kids with a high extracurricular load, honors classes, who still pull 4.0. I can't imagine how smart they must be. The time commitment alone on homework should kill their grade.
