I think that this is really incredible! Why shouldn't schools be teaching us independance and intellect? Schools and society for that matter should be teaching these values to everyone. Not only does it set a positive light for young girls looking to excel in the profession of their choice, but it also teaches young men that they do not need to be the princes or savors. With this attitude girls and boys can begin to realize their own potential and use their talents together to create a better and more well-rounded society. Absolutely love this. Feel free to look at the article and their awesome promotional video for their school that also follows this no princess business.

Powerful women sans-tiara. I like it!
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty cool. I think this is one of the first times I have actually seen something like this in schools. It is a great idea, because girls don't have to be the ones sitting and waiting to be rescued. Girls can be anything and do anything they want; that includes being the rescuer, if that is what they desire.
ReplyDeletei like this a lot. teach girls to be independent early in life and it has better chance of sticking with them,
ReplyDeleteI love this! I think this is such an empowering idea that challenges the societal norms and expectations that plague women today. I think this campaign is a step in the right direction and I hope to see more of this!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome! and it also really helps let girls escape from that stigma of needing to have a husband to be happy.
ReplyDeleteI went to an all girls catholic high school sooo I can definitely appreciate the advertisement being used here. My school's tag line was, "empowering the woman inside each girl". Where we learned we could be anything we want. I'll never forget the lessons I learned there.
