And this will accomplish what? They won't be able to tell they are male or female? This is more of the pablum being dished out by the "Nobody loses" crowd. Life isn't easy. In fact...some days it outright sucks - to be less than poetic. But to disarm children the way we have in the name of " preventing damage to their self esteem"....all it does is take the bullets out of the gun. All this while Europe and Asia arm their children with every tool they need to succeed. Failure isn't an option everywhere else - not because it will damage their "Self Esteem"..but because excellence is required. The way it used to be here.
At the 'Egalia' preschool, staff avoid using words like 'him' or 'her' and address the 33 kids as 'friends' rather than girls and boys.
From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don't fall into gender stereotypes."
