I’m so proud of my daughter for looking out for her classmate and recognizing his antiquated thinking.
My fifth grade daughter brought up a concern about gym class, and I’m debating how to handle it. Her teacher has worked for the district for over 30 years and has won state teaching awards. He’s got some old-school vibes, but he is engaging and the kids love him.The trouble is, he often segments the class by gender. “Alternate by boy-girl” or “Boys line up on the green line, girls on blue.” Stuff like that.
However, you are correct. Requiring students to separate by gender is a problem that should be addressed immediately. I also teach fifth grade and have taught my share of transgender and nonbinary students, so it’s likely that this teacher has taught a nonbinary student in the past and just didn’t know.
My suggestion would be to encourage your daughter to bring up the issue with him first, since she possessed the wisdom to see the problem in the first place. Via email or a private conversation, she could point out the problematic nature of the policy and explain why it should be ended immediately. It might make for a great opportunity for her to use her voice to promote meaningful change.
He’s struggling with the number of people who come in his classroom while he’s teaching. He has a coach from his lateral entry program, a mentor from his district, and he has another mentor specifically at his school. His grade level has two curriculum coaches, an assistant principal, and a lead teacher. All of these people feel it is appropriate to drop into his class at any time, for any reason.
