All the readings on gender conveyed the importance of being sensitive in the classroom. Whether the individual considers themselves to be transgender or bigender, teachers must be aware and up-to-date with different trends and movements their students may identify with. The readings also gave practical methods to help achieve a classroom without gender-bias. Overall, the readings on gender reminded me of the things teachers need to be aware of. The reading on achievement gap was an interesting to me as the author used history to convey the problems with funding equity. As a future inner-city school teacher, I am not surprised by the inequity of funds, but was surprised of how far in history this problem has stemmed from. As a future history, this was a lesson that was "in the flesh."
