Overview: It is extremely important today that in societies all genders are respected and followed in the school system. In order for students to feel like themselves in school it is important for them to first be comfortable and second be themselves. The first article we read states how there are many laws that ensure everyone feels safe in school systems. One of the laws found was FERPA and it doesn't seem that important but it does in the long run. FERPA ensures that students records are kept private, which is obvious. This also provides transgender students with privacy. This is because if they choose they want to be transgender no one has to know because it is kept on a personal file.
Reflection on text:
In 2011 there was a law which was Title IX that made sure the LGBTQ students had the same rights as other students. This means the school would take action the second something has occurred to these students. I can relate to this a little because one kid I knew from high school was being harassed by a student that was a lot older than him. He immediately got the whole thing solved, as any other student was, but because of this law they took immediate action and filed a harassment care. In the video they read a book called "They, She, He, Easy as ABC," this book was about teaching students the correct pronouns to call one another and the importance of using them the right way so others feel respected. The book is mentions ABCs in the title because they go by each letter and give different examples. Overall, it is extremely important that students are taught to treat one another with respect especially when it comes to pronouns. Teaching them at a young age will help in the near future. As long as students feel comfortable about themselves that is all that matters.
