Our girls and our boys are our future. They are both important members of a society in which we attempt to teach our children that they can be anything they want to be. In order to make this dream a reality, educators need to make sure they are equipping all their students with the knowledge and educational foundation necessary for them to tackle their futures head-on. Educators have a responsibility to make sure this is occurring within each classroom. It is not the desire of the author to bring down one group of students (i.e. the boys) in order to level the playing field for the girls. It is the desire of the author to bring up the girls’ levels of performance in mathematics in order to level the playing field. If our girls are being shortchanged in their education in mathematics or in any area, it is the educators’ responsibility to make the necessary changes in his or her classroom to make sure all student s are getting what they need.
