Florida teacher called a student by their preferred name without parental permission. teaching contract on hold (1 Viewer)

Whats with your full-on MAGA hatred of transgenders? Very weird.

This should be obvious:

"It’s culturally responsive teaching.

This kind of instruction incorporates students’ cultural experiences, languages and identities into the learning process. Using students’ cultures can make lessons more relevant and engaging, education researchers have found.

...Caitlin Thomas, KIPP’s math director, said that care and trust makes students more comfortable with making mistakes. They trust the teacher to lead them to success, she said."

LOL Why do you have Nazi-like hatred of children??

Children's rights are the key to this issue. They should, in this case, come first, particularly during teen years in this case.
 
It should be up to the kid first, unless it would be harmful, like clearly someone trying to tease a kid and they don't see it. Then you should discuss it. But if a kid wants something else that their parents don't want them called, the kid's decision, particularly a teen's should take precedent.

You think that the school should get to decide something contrary to a child's parents decision?

Gender-affirming care, as recommended by doctors who treat trans people, begins with using their preferred name and pronouns. The teacher is literally just following the science.

The only thing that makes it political is fascist, anti-trans laws that apparently punish teachers for doing the right thing.

Was the teacher told to stop using the preferred name by the employer?

Yeah. We do it all the time in certain situations.

Whose the Nazi now? :D

Children aren't the property of their parents. Parents aren’t little Hitlers who get to impose their identity upon them. That's child abuse.

Considering the attitude of their own parents, the student was lucky to have a teacher who believed in them.

I pity the kids who don't.

I think a child, especially a teenager should get to decide something so benign as what name they go by, regardless of their parents' decision. It's the kid's name, not the parents'.

Especially in a demographic with such a high suicide rate. The law's consequences could be more suicides. Nothing good can come from it.
 
Florida is determined to become like Alabama….

You are the one smiling about Nazi's

You don't have children. Got it.

More Nazi's?

You should have said that you were an expert on this family at the beginning.
Apparently, you have a great insight into this family and what they have gone through.

The issue here is about who has legal responsibility of the child... the parents or the school?

Bingo. Parents are the legal guardians, and should make the final decison except for things that are solely the responsibility of the state/school
I keep reading posters who say switchng gender pronoun ID is not a big thing. If so -then why not let the parents in on it?

I think it is a 'big thing' for schools to conspire with kids to keep parents in the dark about children's preferred gender ID.
I mean it's not just a lunch menu choice -it's about self identification

Parental rights trump children's rights. Parents have a primary responsibility to care for and protect children, absent parental abuse

Parents dictating to the child what their personal identity is is child abuse

Like I said... you are obviously not a parent.

No joke either... it oozes from your comments...

You think it's fine for parents to dictate to their children their identities? Seriously? You think kids are little machines - parents fill in the data and the kids become their spitting image? Send them to gay conversion camps? Is this how you see raising children? Good Lord, man.
