Discuss the following questions from the reading “Google, Tell Me. Is My Son a Genius?”

 Discuss the following questions from the reading “Google, Tell Me. Is My Son a Genius?”

1. Do American parents have similar standards and similar dreams for their sons and daughters according to Google searches? What are some differences?

2. What are parents wondering about for their sons?

3. What are parents concerned about for their daughters?

4. How might this difference in wishes for boys and girls influence how parents treat their children? How might this different treatment influence what children end up doing with their lives?

5. What is the main point of the article? See if you can write the main idea in one sentence. 

Include the name of the article and the name of the author also.

For example: In "Google, Tell Me. Is My Son a Genius?, Seth Davidowitz writes ….about how American parents have different concerns for their sons and daughters.

Or:

According to Seth Davidowitz in "Google, Tell Me. Is My Son a Genius?, ...American parents are worried about different things for their sons and daughters.

6. Now, I want you to move on to gender inequality in general. Think about ways that there is gender inequality in your native country. This can be in homes, in the workplace, at schools, in sports, in the community, or in any other places that you can think of.
