Gender bias at school

“Gender bias is difficult to detect because it affects girls and boys in different ways. In school, it is the boys who may be expected to “act out” and rebel at school work, while the girls are expected to be docile, conforming and willing to work hard" (Sadker 1994)

Fernanda decided to talk about this interesting and different topic, we as a future teacher must try to cover all the different situations ( that I am sure this will be a great number) and try to face them and resolve it, one of them is change the vocabulary in our classroom creating a good atmosphere with inclusive and specific vocabulary like:

mankind; humanity, humankind, human civilization, man-made: synthetic, manufactured, artificial, imitation.
businessman: executive, wholesaler, business person. cameraman: camera operator, techniciancongressman: member of Congress, representative. craftsman: carpenter, artisan, skilled craftworkerlandlord: land owner, property manager.

Fernanda made a very good presentation with self-confidence and enough research of the topic with relevant and interesting information.
