It’s Not Inclusive
I never did understand anything after my careers class or got what was considered needed from Adult Roles and Responsibilities class. My patience was continuously being tested throughout both of those classes. Why couldn’t someone, who was given the task to teach me in a classroom, teach in a way that was understood by the majority, and also manage teaching that classroom?

Sexism in schools makes for an uncomfortable and unsafe environment. For example, a friend of mine has mentioned moments where she felt the teacher was biased when it came to her grades, by grading the papers her and the other girls in the class turned in, much easier.

Teachers should not be making scenarios like that real life. Now, when it comes to P.E. in school, you can very nearly physically see the sexism in the room. In my gym class, the teacher would numerous of times make rules like, “The girls get to walk at this time, while the guys have to keep running,” or “Guys you need 10 points to win, and the girls need 6.” Why is that? What is it that makes him think the girls are not just as good as any guy in that gym? But yet, why is that example deemed so normal that nothing is being said? Many of times I have heard terms like “Be a man.” and “Stop being a girl”. But, what’s really being said behind those words? What kind of empowerment can you give a young woman in high school with examples like those? Where does inclusiveness play a role in school when you are making it
