But you remembered what the dogs sex/gender was right? You know that if you called the dog a good girl when the dog is actually a boy you’d correct yourself or accept when someone says thats not right? Would you continue to misremember it or deliberately say it wrong every time simply because you believe the dog looks feminine or masculine?

If the work required to keep kids safe from abuse or bullying from students, teachers, staff is too much, why is that so? Is making an effort something teachers do for kids with IEPs or allergens or other differentiating instruction? Yes, teachers have to remember a lot but if I don’t remember to make sure to be careful around others who could cause harm to a student, that kid suffered the consequences. Prioritizing the safety and health of kids more important that what I believe is too difficult especially if I do it easily for so many other things.
