At the Dar Taliba boarding school, there is no alternative: you have to do well in school. “We are ashamed of the girls who do not do well,” Mrs. El Hajji, the school’s director, emphatically says to the 150 adolescent girls she sought out one by one in the villages surrounding Amskroud in southern Morocco. Before each new school year, Mrs. El Hajji travels the countryside to convince parents that their daughter will have a better life if she goes to school.
