    So one of mandatory teacher training modules was on How to Deal with Gender Identity..In the training it advised to steer clear of using the Mr/Mrs boys/girls/ he and she... WTF am I supposed to say then? I can't say now son listen..I can't say now young lady listen etc... Your public schools ladies and gents...oops, that's not PC!! :confused:

    "Hey Dumbass" is pretty gender-neutral.

    The same people that say that you are ignoring science when you question man caused climate change.

    If it isnt policy I ain't doing it. And if it were policy, I'd probably not talk at all as a teacher and just keep giving work until the students cried.

    What about if you are a traditional parent and raise your kids that way? You are forcing my kids to be exposed to that BS.

    Man they are cowering down in every way right now. Same as the race stuff. I remember about 5 years ago we got an email from the top of the county school division telling us to give black students more chances prior to writing them up because the records show a disproportionate number of blacks were being suspended... I kid you not.

    Just tell them that being a teacher you follow science and that science tells you that there are two(2) genders...... Male and female. Therefore it is perfectly acceptable to use he/she, him/her and Mr./Mrs.

    I'm sure the kids won't mind.

    Sounds like you can only say "Hey you!" until you learn their names.
    The only other option is to take them all to use the rest rooms and then call them according to which bathroom they choose to use. You'd probably have to take notes at the beginning to be able to remember...that will go over just fine...

    Always feminine products removed the female symbol from all packaging in a nod to their transgender and non binary customers. If you need their product you are menstruating thus you are a female no matter what the wrapper says.

    This is my 14th year teaching, and if I had it my way, it would be my last. I'm burned out, and this year is worse than ever. I get it.
