Schools encouraged to scrap gendered language like Sir and Miss

Given the wokeness of today's generation I am not sure this will be the case for everyone very soon.

More and more people are getting sick of wokeness and also most people are still cis so getting rid of terms which apply to the vast majority of people and to instead pander to the minority is dumb. If a teacher is non-binary or whatever they can ask to have a different pronoun or title but that shouldn’t need to be foisted onto everyone else tbh.

I agree.

Given that this thread is a year old and the idea doesn’t seem to have gained any traction, I’d suggest it’s a storm in a teacup.

No point frothing about this when schools can barely keep themselves from falling down or keep up with what quals they’re meant to be delivering this week.

They're dropping, but they can wear what they want generally.
