A Bainbridge Island teacher is giving a lesson that has parents on edge. The lesson plan: Boys can't play with Legos.
The Bainbridge Island Review reports that Karen Keller, a kindergarten teacher at Blakely Elementary, is tackling the issue of gender equity by not allowing the boys in her class to play with Legos.
The Lego-restricted lesson plan doesn't make a whole lot of sense for KIRO Radio's Dori Monson.
"If I was a parent of a boy in that class, I'd get them out of there ... we've gone insane in our public schools," he said. "This Bainbridge Island kindergarten class is just another example of how insane it's all gotten."
I built forts and so did my 3 children. Great Fun....and we had cap pistols too!
When I was 5 I wanted an American Flyer train for Christmas. My dad said girls didn’t play with trains.(He was already teaching me to shoot a .410 shotgun, go figure) but my grandmother said if I wanted a train, I was going to get one. Grandmom bought me a beautiful Lionel. Loved that train.
Well, I never had the former, but I had plenty of the latter ...
She is just tired of stepping on them.../ S
Yes...slow & painful.
If parents do nothing, expect it to keep happening.
