[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to go back to the PE/Locker issue again.  So the boys got to go to PE for 2 weeks but the girls did not?  Why was that?  [/quote]

I'd also like to go back to this. Circumstances aside, parents really emailed the super about this? Just...wow.

How are your kids going to handle life? I ask in all seriousness, because this sounds detrimental to their development. [/quote]

Wait? You seriously think it was wrong for parents to complain about a sexist PE teacher + locked-with-no-explanation locker room meaning their kids got no PE for TWO weeks? And worse yet, had to sit and watch boys do PE? I think that is 100% where *of course* parents have to step in.[/quote]

It was not the PE teacher, it was a sub.  [/quote]

Your reply illustrates the disconnect. Parents are expressing concerns about failures of leadership that caused locker rooms to be unavailable and teachers engaging in discriminatory and improper behavior without consequence. From a parent's perspective it was gym class so they reference the "PE teacher". You choose to fixate on the reference to "PE teacher" without a moment's thought or consideration to the impact on the kids. Whether this is a creative deflection/misdirection or you truly don't understand, I don't know. In either case the fact that you care more about the lack of specificity between a PE sub and PE teacher than the impact on the kids is telling.  [/quote]
