While teacher Bill was being observed by another teacher Matt, Bill let his students play a game where it was grouped boys versus girls. Matt saw a problem with this as many of the students had made comments to one another such as, the boys saying "we let the girls win" and other banter. Bill made Matt feel like he was being too sensitive over the topic and that it didn't matter if the kids were learning.

By Bill letting let it be boys versus girls it could make either gender conform to gender "norms" or make those who are none binary not feel welcomed in the class.

- can make boys ultimately feel like just because you're a girl that makes you smart
- causes a divide in the classroom
- some students may feel like they don't belong in the boy or girl grouping
- feeds into gender stereotypes

# data[].attributes.body
- encourage students to try splitting the classroom up by activities, movies, books, etc that they like
- don't base it around gender
- have a discussion with students how to not feed into gender norms or biases

- teacher Bill right away should have suggested they split up a different way
- or when problems did arise such as the banter he should have taken that time to educate his students on why gender has nothing to do with the way someone performs academically
- such as in the movie "Freedom Writers" when the teacher starts to address problems to the classroom that's where she finds a break through with her students

# data[].attributes.body
- admin should hold workshops for teachers on how to breakdown gender "norms" in the classroom
- teachers together should make classroom rules on respect for one another in the classroom
- teachers should share real life stories of problems caused by not respecting a gender and eliminating stereotypes in their students minds

# data[].attributes.body
- it never should have been split up by boys versus girls
- with that being said this would have been a great time to have an educational conversation in the classroom with the teacher and his students about not feeding into gender stereotypes
- from this point on the teacher should then establish what respect for one another looks like in the classroom to follow for the rest of the year and in life
- Bill also could have taken this as a learning moment from Matt on why what he did was wrong and what he could do differently next time
