Dear
Charnai & Class,
Thanks
for trying to change the situation at your school.
I think that if you have a critical mass, you
should be able to change the situation. I would
suggest that you start by writing a letter to
the school administrators saying that several
of your classmates think that girls should be
included in everything that boys are included
in - maybe you want to list specific things like
picking up chairs and passing papers. It's important
to explain why this should change. Like it's unfair
to the boys and the girls and if the school is
preparing boys and girls for life after school,
they should try to replicate an accurate version
of what is going to be expected of them - like
equal expectations of both boys and girls.
Once
you have written the letter, you should circulate
it to your classmates and ask them to sign it
- boys and girls. My guess is that boys find these
things unjust, too, since they are unfairly asked
to take this responsibility on. Then submit this
to your administrators. If that doesn't work I
suggest that you try to get parents involved using
the same tactics. Have them sign - maybe, teachers,
too.
Good
luck.
Amy
