I I I am plenty smart (National Merit finalist, JD cum laude, LLM with distinction), and I don't think I qualify for your definition of stay-at-home mom, and Joan, with a Ph.D. from Columbia, doesn't, either. And I do a lot of volunteer work for my kids' schools, thank you, but I do stuff at night and on the weekends. Not sure what you mean by "brunt", even working mothers can bake stuff for bakesales, and volunteer at book fairs and chaperone field trips. In my opinion, a lot of the volunteer stuff is just busywork.

Actually Christine, I did that on purpose to see who would respond. Nobody seemed to care that my pov was equated with Columbine and I wanted to see if this was a bit of a double standard (which it is). You weren't there at the time, so your reply to me is sort of a scraggler. Anybody else that chose to respond to me for my erroneous (and very lightweight) claim and did not see any need to comment on the Columbine reference is already too biased to debate this, imo. I am looking for any evidence that working parents are the root cause of all these school shootings - any hard facts - and if somebody can produce those then ok. I generally think there is something wrong with mathematics in the public schools, and specifically women and mathematics seems to be some sort of issue but I don't know what the cause of it is. I got exposed to it a few years ago in the "bring your daughter to work day".
