Do you really want me, a conservative, republican white heterosexual male, telling that lesbian couple to stop discussing “gender affirmation” therapy with their 12 year old adopted son?
So you're OK with inexperienced, uneducated, and untrained people telling you how to do your job?
I don’t know what you mean by “inexperienced”. By the time their kids get to me, most of these parents have at least 15 years of experience with raising their kids. When they speak, I listen.
Some of the best advice I ever received was from a blue collar worker who wanted his son to go to college. He told me to “be tough on him, he’s just acting stupid”.
Rigor and relevance. Two important ingredients in education.
