A Work Story

Part of my new position as a counselor for Nathan Hale-Ray Middle School will be implementing a developmental guidance program. One element of this program is going to be teaching a life skills class. The class is on a rotating schedule and starts over every 30 days. Up until now I have been sitting in on the current class waiting for the new rotation where I will take over the class. One of the recent lessons was on gender role in the work world. The discussion was going well with the class except for the self professed Christian in the back of the room who was continually saying that the Bible says that the woman should stay at home and cook and clean while the man works. So we shouldn’t be discussing male/female roles…because the Bible says so. Yikes - not exactly the first introduction to a new school you want to get.
