Re: Your childhood: academically
Actually, these are the specific questions I'd like to know the answers to:
What about girls here who have brothers? How do your parents emphasize academics differentially? I don't have brothers but my father made it a point to treat us like boys even though his family is very traditional. We used to live in small apartments so he could send us to good schools.
Do your mothers stress education more than your fathers?
Who do your parents identify as role models for you? Of what gender?
Did they spend money on extracurric. activities for you?
What do you think your parents should have done differently?
How do they react when you do poorly in school?
For girls, did your parents construct marriage and education as mutually exlusive?
