Education Trend

new ideasTimes were changing, and many schools were trying new ideas. At the grade school level, these included team teaching, unstructured open classrooms and modular cubbies in place of traditional desks. High schools experimented with open campus, student lounges and outdoor student smoking areas.

Title IX

Title IX prohibited gender discrimination in public schools. It was signed into law by President Nixon in 1972 and was fully implemented by 1978.
All areas of school life were affected:

*Girls were given equal opportunity to participate in sports.

*Students could not be prevented from taking a class because of gender. Boys could take cooking and sewing classes, and girls could take shop classes. Any classes with gender-specific names (like Boys P.E.) had to change their names.

*Colleges could not reject applicants because of marital status or gender, and high schools could not expel students because of pregnancy.

Career Trends

Although administrative and management jobs for men were becoming more common, the majority of American men still worked in blue-collar fields. Women's jobs were becoming less domestic (maids and nannies) and more clerical (bookkeepers and typists), but women were still rarely in positions of leadership or decision-making.
