[Avodah] birchot kriat shma for sefardi women

Back to my topic of piskei of ROY. I recently learned that ROY paskens
that sefardi women are not allowed to say birchot of kriat shema. He holds
that these are birkhat hamitzva. Since women are not obligated in saying
Shema they need not say the berachot associated with kriat shema
and so according to the Mechaber they can not say them.
Others disagree since these berachot do not use the word "ve-tzivanu".

Again I would be interested if most sefardi women really skip this whole
section of schararit (or maaariv for that matter) and what sefardi schools
for women do.
