(Faithwire) Over the weekend, a Philadelphia-based teacher bemoaned the virtual classroom — but not for the reasons you might think. Among the myriad hurdles such a setting creates, one educator expressed his chief concern: parents listening in on his “honest conversations” about sexuality and gender with students.
Matthew R. Kay, a founding teacher at Science Leadership Academy, reportedly wrote, “So, this fall, virtual class discussions will have many potential spectators — parents, siblings, etc. — in the same room. We’ll never be quite sure who is overhearing the discourse. What does this do for our equity/inclusion work?”
