When I was teaching Title 1 Math, many of the mom parents told me to my face that their daughter was lousy in math because they were too. They wouldn't be able to help them at home (this is just 7th, 8th grade math for crying out loud)And it is the way girls are!!! To make it worse, they said it in front of their daughters. Gee mom, could you make my job harder by telling their child that they probably won't be able to get it, that is just how girls are?!?!?! Talk about programming them to fail and excusing it.
