In Karen Keller's kindergarten classroom, boys can't play with Legos.
They can have their pick of Tinkertoys and marble tracks, but the colorful bricks are "girls only."
"I always tell the boys, 'You're going to have a turn' -- and I'm like, 'Yeah, when hell freezes over' in my head," she said. "I tell them, 'You'll have a turn' because I don't want them to feel bad."
Although her approach might anger some parents, Keller is sticking to her guns: It's all part of a plan to get girls building during "free choice," the 40 minutes of unstructured play time embedded at the end of every school day.
Thank you. The font issue is making many FR posts very difficult to peruse these days.
I wonder if she is one of the white woman school teachers who celebrates Kwanzaa, in order to prove how liberal she is????
So, she lies to the males while also crushing them. Quite an example that you have set, teacher.
How do you fix that weird symbol thing?
Does the teacher get paid teacher wages for that part of the school day, or minimum wage like a babysitter?
