NHD and Times this week

For the National History Day project, I decided to research something dealing with women's sports and the rights of women's sports. After a long time of deciding how to narrow down the topic, I decided to research Title IX. Title IX is a law making sure boy's and girl's sports are equal. They have to be equal in scholarship money, equipment, and participation in sports. I have also learned about how this has changed sports and what women could do before Title IX. I am interested in this topic because a few years ago, I went to a women's sports foundation event hosted by Billie Jean King.

For the National History Day Project, I have decided to do my research on women's sports, specifically the effects of Title IX.  Title IX is a US Statute dealing with not having any discrimination based on gender. I only looked at the part of Title IX dealing with education and sports. I have learned the three parts of Title IX that have to be followed, including equal participation, equal scholarship money, and equal equipment and necessities between the boy's and girl's sports. I have also researched on how this affected women's sports and the women's sports foundation. I also have researched what life for women participating in sports was prior to Title IX. I became interested in this topic after an event for the women's sports foundation hosted by Billie Jean King.

NHD Topic

My topic for National History Day is the rights of women and their role in sports. I became interested in this topic a few years ago when my mom dragged me to an event about women's sports. I really want to focus more on Title IX than anything. Title IX is a law that basically says women's sports and men's sports have to be equal.
My topic should be cared about because for any girl that plays sports, it provides equality. This week, I need to narrow down my topic more and redo some of my annotations. I also need to start working on my project.

What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?

In a world where it was the child's choice to go to school, I think the majority of kids would not. Being a younger kid, of course you would not want to waste your time going to school. When I was younger, I really never wanted to go to school as I thought it really was a waste of time. No kid wants to spend 5/7 days being in a class when you can be at home relaxing.

In the beginning, I know I wouldn't go to school. However, as time went on, I would end up going to school. I would want a good education and a good job. I probably would make that decision around 7th or 8th grade, which is when I started understanding how much I needed to go to school to become successful.
