DS's school has invited the 'dads' in for a special science-themed day. I'm shocked to say the least. What kind of message does this send to the kids?
A. Science is for boys?
B. It's usual for dads to be out at work, hence the need for a special day for them. Mums do not work, they stay at home and bake cakes for the PTA?
I can see the logic of trying to reach out to the dads, but really? What do you think?
Feminism: Sex and gender discussions
OK for school to reinforce stereotypes?
