It is totally weird compared to the rest of the world. I don’t disagree with that at all.
 
I suspect the whole locker room thing is similar; no school I worked at made students change in front of each other, we had stalls. I think I’d have curled up and died if they’d made me change with other people, male or female.

It’s usually a very small segment of the unit. And it also covers things like gender presentation. This is particularly useful as it addresses the idea of “girl” things and “boy” things and lets students look at how those ideas impact life.
To what end?

I believe that information that impacts a child;s identity, such as negative or positive judgments about things they like or don’t like, is moral in nature and so should be authorized by the parents.
My particular interest in that is showing how these ideas change over time. Reading was once a manly pursuit, but now we having falling literacy levels in boys because of the view that it’s “girly” and that girly is bad.
So, why not hang up posters of boys and men reading.in the halls and cafeteria? I just don’t think my children should be subject to the state’s ideas about which views are bad or good based on societal trends or without my permission…Simply put, I don’t want the schools to teach my children what is wrong or right bad or good. Maybe I think it’s ok for my son or daughter to have stereotypical views about their sex. It’s not the schools job to teach my children in any way except by teaching them to read and write to know the importance of history and math etc.

Part of schooling involves aspects of morality and always has. It can be as simple as preventing students from bullying each other, to teaching that hurtful comments aren’t okay, to education on the impact of racism on society. What are your thoughts on anti-bullying programs?

And the “end” in this instance is helping students feel comfortable to pursue things they like without fear of being bullied for it. If a boy loves poetry? That’s great! If a girl likes metalwork? That’s great! It’s all about being enthusiastic.

Largely because such posters have no effect. And I’m afraid that the state does rather think reading is good. I don’t think that’s too out there.
 
I appreciate you opening our eyes to the psychology of schoolteachers who insist on gender ideology.

You are actually pretty good at playing slippery little language-and-semantics games.

I’m convinced that you actually believe you are doing a good work in the world.

Your contempt for parents and their capabilities to teach their own children shines through.

I’m done replying to you.
 
I’ve said multiple times that there are some things parents should most certainly teach their children, and that if they choose to teach sex ed then that’s fine; so long as the students can prove knowledge of the topic via a test as any other student would. As a teacher I always work with the parents of the students in my class.

I’m not sure how pointing out that a 27 year old isn’t a child is slippery or a semantics game really, but I do apologise if you’ve found any of what I’ve written to not be straight forward. A lot of it has been written on my phone or when I catch a spare minute, so it may not have been clear enough.

God bless and thank you for the discussion.
 
I’d reccommend Hell. Catholicism or the fire, no exceptions.
 
i am in Australia. The vast majority of our toilets in institutions are just like that.
 
Weird, I’ve encountered one set of taps like that in an old building and the vast majority of toilets around here don’t have the weird gaps. I know a shopping centre that does.
 
surely you are not at work now. Guess you havent been in a lot of institutions.
 
Fun fact the double tap is actually in the restroom I mentioned, that building is from the early 1900s, though it has been renovated 😃 Beyond that all the houses and workplaces I’ve had in Aus have had more up to date pipes.
 
I have been around a lot of it. Its not that big though with modern transport.

we cant really compare our education system to the states , or our values.

but i will say this gender education is quite ill received. and parents would prefer bullying education to be a totally separate issue.

because bullying is a huge issue that is leading to a lot of negative behaviour. including live streamed fighting. and suicide
 
If your kid’s school teaches this you should pull them out of it permanently. Government schools do lots of damage, and not all of it is the incompetent teaching.
 
yes if it were from the early 1900s the dunny would be a long drop outside, unrenovated.
 
Are we really going to dispute that Australia is a big country? That seems random.

Why do you feel gender education is ill conceived out of interest?
