Education here in Guerrero

sigh, Mexico has changed so much in the past 20+ years, yet it saddens me that some of those things that should be on the priority list aren't.
It seems like yesterday when I paid for a hotel room in Chetumal and got more than a raised eyebrow that I was a woman travelling with a man, yet held a credit card in my own name. I had always noticed increased acceptance as a woman in the state of Oaxaca, I trust due to the influence of the Tehuantepec women, and had hoped that this attitude had spread along with the other recent changes I have noted, but as your description depicts, the root of it seems to be more economic than anything.
