[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something like a third or a quarter of kids are in households with only one parent, so with such a huge chunk of kids in a non-two-parent household, you'd think teachers would be aware of it.[/quote] So? It doesnt mean the other parent isn’t in the picture. I guess the teacher should draft a special email to each child, specifically address their (so we don’t assume kid has a gender, right, how rude) circumstances… Dear single transgender undefined parent, your genderless child will need to bring an extra snack to school tomorrow… something like that ?[/quote] You seem like you have a rod in your butthole. It's super easy to just refer to "families" or "households". It's actually pretty easy to be inclusive in this context, and the fact that you are this upset suggests you have some issues.[/quote] The people screaming inclusivity are the ones with issues. People besides parents have raised kids for years and nobody ever complained about stupid stuff like this until recently. It’s been parents/guardians for years and years, you’re lucky you get the “guardian “ part. It’s becoming an issue of this generation not to accept what is normal and think everyone needs to be included in every little thing. You need to realize people don’t have time to worry that your feelings might get hurt. The world runs on what is normal, sure there’s always exceptions but nobody has time to list every exception for everything and people like op that worry about the little things like that are the biggest problem.[/quote] I hope there is only one jackass in this thread nattering on about normal and abnormal and aghast that people actually care about the feelings of the many family configurations that raise kids.[/quote]
