[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, that will teach me to ask a simple question. I'm not out of it nor stupid. I have a doctorate and run the product development department of a software company, so I've got some brains. I am just new to this and don't know anything about the way Fairfax County runs their schools now. I went to FCPS 30 years ago, so yes, things have changed. This is not something they explain on their website, and I don't know anyone with kids in elementary school. I have no idea they try to balance the composition of classrooms along gender lines, and I also wasn't crying sexism. I was simply curious as to why boys would need white glue and girls wouldn't. Geez. [/quote]It is just a way for teachers to split up communal supplies. They probably need half the amount of glue sticks and half the amount of kelnex so instead of every kids getting them they split it between boy and girl. It is not meant to separate the sexes in use.[/quote]
