Research Paper 2

[Kieran-Lilith]

I'm doing a research paper for my Eng 102 class, and the topic I've decided on is women and the martial arts.

My next question: Of the people in your school, what is the average time period that female students leave the school after?

If your answer is unlisted in the poll, go ahead and submit something anyways in text.

If you cast a vote in this poll, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE cast your vote in any other poll I post! It'll help me keep a more valid research group!

Also, you can feel free to post where you're from, what your school is or practices, etc. All thoughts and ideas are wonderful, and credit will be given where credit is due.

Thanks for your assistance!

Can't answer this one for my current school, as I only just began attending it in the summer.

In vegas the leaving time was virtually the same for males and females. I guess it might be around 6-9 months as the average. After that the drop out rate lowered a lot, at around 3 years the drop out rate was very low.

In the first question I voted based on my current school, do you want me to vote in this one according to my las vegas school?

This is hard to answer because certain female students leave due to age. Most 6 - 9 year old female typically stick around for 1 yr. If a female makes it to age 12/13, they tend to leave because they have gotten involved with school events. If you can get a female student to make it half way to black belt, in our school it would be gokyu rank, they tend to make it to black belt, which takes 3-5 years. In our school however, there are currently only 2 female nidans, myself and another. There is one active female sandan and one active female shodan. The rest are men, which is approximatley 20 collectively.

Thinking about it, I don't know that I've seen any female students really leave since I've started. Even the one that had a child stayed with it.

Generally it has seemed to me that the female students stay around for about the same amount of time. Of course, there are almost always more guys than girls in MAs

...... (no offense guys)
