[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice would be to do your job and not talk about your personal life. In fact, that's the advice for ALL teachers. I'm not sure why my kid's gay language teacher insists on saying things like, "That was a gay thing to say." Sexuality has no place in the classroom because it is irrelevant to the task at hand. Doubtful you will be accused of grooming anyone if you keep your personal life private. Again, that goes for all teachers, not just gay ones.[/quote]

I disagree. It’s important that gay teachers be open and talk about their sexuality precisely because moronic parents try to shelter their children from the reality that gay people exist. Don’t hide who you are. [/quote]

Because why? Should they also talk about their religion? Their girlfriends and boyfriends? Their poverty or wealth? Their dyed hair which used to be brown? Why does this relate to math or science or social studies or English? The class is for the students, not the teacher. Sure if there is an appropriate story related to teaching you can point it out - My boyfriend and I were buying a car this weekend and realized the sales tax had increased to 5%, but no parent wants their kid's math teacher to spend a lot of time talking about their personal life unless it relates to math. And give me a break that the DC area population doesn't know that gay people exist.[/quote]
