My JI2 class (I realize this means nothing to most of you reading this, so in short, the classes are categorized according to grade and English proficiency) is one of my favorites. They inspire me as much as I hope I inspire them and as cliché as that sounds, it’s true. HOWEVER (this is a big However), today I collected their books to do a quick progress check (I am supposed to assign “detention” to those that have incomplete pages – seems a little harsh to me but I don’t make the rules). As I'm flipping through one student’s book, I find this (her response to whether men's sports programs should get more money than women's programs). I think a little piece of me died just then.
I spent the entire class discussing Title IX and it's objective to provide equal opportunity within education programs for men and women - albeit a low level discussion; they got the gist (so I thought). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion (sigh).
