The "opt out" revolution

This is an old article from the New York Times magazine. A friend of mine, who is a working mom, sent this to me and it struck me then (before we were moms). I still think it is important to think about what we value as individuals. The teaching profession does, in many ways, provide more opportunity for "family time" than other professions, which is what makes the job more glamourous than others might. This is a great article about how all mothers who are career driven look at motherhood. To quote the article "The talk of this new decade is less about the obstacles faced by women than it is about the obstacles faced by mothers." I would love to hear your reactions to the article, as it does focus on mothers staying home instead of staying on the "fast track."http://chss.montclair.edu/~landwebj/ww/optout.htm
