The child was made to feel badly and the issue was never revisited. Parents sued the teacher for promoting homosexuality. 10th graders in a district in Omaha, NE receive an entire year of health classes with sexual health content from the very broad to the very specific. Students must have a parental waiver to participate. The issues become broader and broader.
Teachers are there to focus on teaching subjects and helping students prepare for exams.
I am very unsure and scared of what my role might be. Plus they don't pay us well but expect us to be all this and all that. New teachers are expected to be the best but are also the first to blame. The key is to develop trust and build relationships with parents. Until I saw the Sexual Health Session description in this conference's program, I never thought this would even be an issue to have to address as a teacher.
