What pronouns should teachers in government schools use?

[kaz]

I would not fire teachers or compel speech, but I say the teacher is an ass if they aren't polite to their student and call them at a personal level what they want to be called. That isn't a political position, it's being a decent person.


It's not possible to list EVERY possibility in these polls. If none are perfect, please pick the closest answer to your view and explain in your post.

Actual gender, you or it.

Call 'em a "thing."

Teachers should address others by their names. If the need for a pronoun occurs, teachers should adhere to the rules of the english language.

I'm a 'birthing person'!
I just gave birth to a likeness of Bi-Dung during my morning shit!!

“Hey you, whatchamacallit” works nicely in all situations.

I feel this is getting into dangerous territory. What if democrat students get together and want to be called rat vomit, which seems likely to me. Should a teacher say "Rat vomit, can you come up front and recite Stalin's speech of Aug 11, 1949?

What if democrat students want to be called "Hair sniffers"? I also have a problem with the poll Q's. Why not add another option. Should all fascist dem teachers be fired and be replaced with decent people?

There are only two genders. You do not get to chose yours.
You call it like you see it,

Even democrats agree with that.

If the teacher wants respect they must give respect, the same for the student.

gender and sexuality are not the same dog in this hunt.

Conservatives should homeschool their children.

Instead of wasting time with this 'what pronoun would you prefer' crap and 'CRT' where kids are taught to hate each other and their country, how about we get back to teaching Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Science, History, etc...?

This is too challenging for teacher's anymore.

Why not "follow the science" in addressing students, rather than encourage a delusion?

The problem is, that it appears that in order for a teacher to “give respect” to students these days, that it requires a 6,000 page political correctness manual and a junior G Man decoder ring just to do it.

“Excuse me student, In order for me to give you some respect I’ll first need you to send me that memo regarding what your preferred pronoun is for TODAY.”

Nametags would help...I would simply refer to them as you or you all...

Yeah except for the fact that most of the nonsense that students want to be called these days wouldn’t fit on a name tag, they’d need a billboard.
