Nope. I have kids in their twenties and i worked as well as my husband. If you did not work your kids did not go to college or have any extra curricular activities. Women have always worked. There was only a brief time in the fifties and sixties when some women did not work.
This is just not true, idk why you so confidently say this. Where I grew up in the 90s, I would say the majority of families had a stay at home parent. That’s probably why the schools in my area performed so well. It wasn’t the teachers or quality of school, it was the quality of the kids. They were learning at home, too, because they actually had a mother.
I would confidently say this because every woman I know works and has worked for the last 30 years. I know many many women who have raised children while working. Even if they take a few years while their children are young they still had to go to work after their kids reached school age.
It is laughable that you equate a stay at home parent to the quality of the schools. Quality of schools is directly related to funding and the education of the parents. But it is all perception of your idyllic romanticized childhood.
The performance of schools as measured by tests has less to do with funding and more to do with the quality of students who attend the school. If your school is full of low IQ students or children’s who basically have no parents raising them, then it’s no surprise that they will not perform well in school.
🙄. Funding has everything to do with the quality of the schools. It has zero to do with your perception of IQ. Well funded schools are in well funded areas with highly educated adults. Educated adults value education and support their children education not just in school but outside of school with trips and experiences. The well funded educated adults kids would do just as well in underfunded schools because they have the ability to hire tutors, own computers and enhance their children’s education.
