 Update from the education trenches this week:  

Covered for a grade 7 teacher who told me the kids should introduce themselves with pronouns 'properly'.  I skipped introductions and just took roll call.

At another school, have encountered a child aged 10 or 11 with a male name who looks like a girl with short hair and who hangs out exclusively with girls.  Not sure if I should inquire more into this.

So many teachers with pronouns in their emails or displayed in their classroom. 
 @03084dd5 Was this the first day of class or do they announce their pronouns every day? :psyduck: 
 "why would you say this is being pushed on children?!"
