LBGTXYZ Group: Boarding schools should introduce 'gender neutral' uniforms

[Kardan]

I love how despite being unable to control classes and even teach basic skills, our future teachers are being taught to tell children that saying a pen is gay is wrong where as calling Graham Norton isn't. What a really great future this country has in the economic race against the likes of China. It is beyond belief.



There's bullying and then there's being unable to take a bloke wearing a dress seriously.

And would you like to explain why you think teachers shouldn't deal with homophobic comments?

Within reason.

There's bullying and there's bullying. A comment like my pen is so gay today isn't offensive, or rather if somebody does find it offensive they need to learn to get a grip. Being in school is just as important for character building as it is for education, and developing a thick skin is what you do in school so when you mature you are ready for the big bad world out there when - shock! horror! - people aren't always nice to you and you can't run to the teacher or to mummy. You deal with it.

Teach mathematics like you're paid to do, not how to be a little PC crybaby.

It's offensive to the English Language. Should be punished for such pathetic use of a beautiful language, to be honest.

In which case, it is absolutely fine for teachers to pick out the black kid in the class continually - after all, shock! horror!, there are racist people in the big bad world too?

As you'll find if you ever get into the teaching career, you're not paid to solely teach your subject. You are expected to have professional values, which means you'll be expected to challenge such behaviour.
