No one in the community would have considered taking a boy out of
37、 school. A boys edocation was the familys hope to move up the financial and social ladder.

43、tay-at-home parent and an active volunteer. The centuries-old division of labour stood.Even though I grew up in a traditional home, my parents had the same expectations for me. My sister, and my brother, all three of us were encouraged to do well in school, do equal routine tasks, and participate in
