I’m not sure what to think. In a way this is a good idea: it gets kids interested in math. However, in a bad way, it teaches kids, girls in particular, that a career is more rewarding than raising a family. It teaches girls that they need to have a successful career in math and science areas and focus more on the career. As for boys being better at math and science than girls, that’s the way most boys are wired. They are wired to be problem solvers. A lot of girls on the other hand are better at reading than guys are-maybe this is because we woman are designed to be homemakers and work at home-in other words girls are able to read recipes and cook. Maybe both genders are equal-guys are not better than girls…and girls are not better than boys. The two genders are meant to complement each other.

Now why didn’t someone come up with this when I was in 4th-6th grade?! It would’ve made math a whole lot more interesting!

Hopefully “all” girls will look into this program. I am glad to see horses come to the aid of math problems…..I know horses can count, mine know who got 3 carrots and they got 2.
