We never wanted our stickers to be used in schools says group which recommended plastering them all over your pencil case.

Come on OP/Helen? Don't be shy. Which respyrce packs do your DCs' schools use?

As a fellow parent stakeholder I'm curious to know.

OvaHere · 22/09/2018 13:40

I never realised until recently just how many people are scared of stickers. Are stickers the new Trypophobia?

HandsOffMyRights · 22/09/2018 13:40

Resource dammit!

littlbrowndog · 22/09/2018 13:42

Oh thanks for bringing to attention op

Stickers look good

Have to get me some

Ereshkigal · 22/09/2018 13:42

Don't transactivists ever get tired of always overreacting about everything?

Whatever would they do with their time otherwise?

Mrskeats · 22/09/2018 13:43

Stripping your arm to create a non working parody of a penis=fine and dandy
Stickers.= oohhh the danger

placemats · 22/09/2018 13:44

I work in a secondary/sixth form college school and can honestly say I've lost count of the times I've seen anatomically correct depictions of a penis on the desks.

averylongtimeago · 22/09/2018 13:45

Stickers! What a good idea, where can I get some?

Bowlofbabelfish · 22/09/2018 13:45

Stickers on pencil cases = really not the end of the world.

Placing gender questioning children outside the safeguarding frameworks = a very big deal indeed

whats your opinion on safeguarding OP? Important or not?

Apologising for this, was the stupidest stupidest stupidest thing Transgender Trend ever did. It's completely undone so much of their good work, and soiled their reputation.

It won't make any faux "aggrieved" parties warm to them and has done nothing but damage.

They should have remained unrepentant. I only hope that other campaign groups learn from this.

HandsOffMyRights · 22/09/2018 13:58

Come back OP. Don't make mischief and spoil all the fun by running off.

I guess you might be busy, as I am, with my DCs, who are thankfully gender critical.

FermatsTheorem · 22/09/2018 13:59

Hmm, I wonder how schools are going to cover human reproduction in biology classes these days. Or contraception in PHSE.

It's all a bit of a mystery. Some people have penises and some have vaginas and there's no pattern to it, and sometimes lesbian couples don't have to worry about contraception, and sometimes they do... and it's all a bit puzzling really. And then sometimes babies happen. Though we're not quite sure how. Because sea horses and clown fish. Or something like that. And some babies have large dangly bits and some have very small bits (and noticeable vulvas but let's pretend we don't notice this when coercively assigning whatever it is we assign) and it really is just a difference in size, even though in once case that's where the urine comes out of and in the other case it doesn't and maybe the ones with the longer dangly bits and the ones with the shorter dangly bits might turn out to have different roles in the production of/having of babies when they're old enough but really we're not sure.

But at all costs keep children safe from the dangerously transphobic claim that "women don't have penises." Because that would lead to the end of civilisation as we know it.

Ah! So A level students? If A level students are resilient enough to cope with encountering alternative opinions, I’m really not sure A levels are for them.

What I take from the news story is that TT have a lot of humanity and humility and genuinely care about distress being caused to ANY child.

IAmLurkacus · 22/09/2018 14:05

*aren’t

Doobigetta · 22/09/2018 14:11

Oh FFS, it’s A Level students, not primary school kids. 16 and 17 year olds. Did your parents decide how your pencil case should be decorated when you were 17? What a non-story.

This current thread about Allsorts school packs is chilling

Helen Saxby (@helensaxby11) Tweeted:
@Glinner But girls should be taught to ignore their own perceptions of reality in favour of a boy's feelings. This is from the Allsorts toolkit, in East Sussex schools since 2013: t.co/tLCXPuZmjm twitter.com/helensaxby11/status/1043454802276114433?s=17

HandsOffMyRights · 22/09/2018 14:24

To quote:
"The Allsorts pack is horrendous. Have you seen the bit about transing kids with SEND behind parents' backs, even if it's not supported by other professionals working with the child? This is illegal. It goes against the statutory SENDCOP framework. I'd lose my job if I did this."
