caitlyn-rain: osobigbear: I carry this water bottle around on purpose because I know the kids will ask me why I have a pink one. This is how every convo has gone: Kids: Mr.C Why do you have a pink water bottle? Me: Because I like pink, why? Kids: Pink is for girls Me: Why? Kids: ummmmmmm Me: Do you know why it’s for girls? Kids: No it just is That’s when I go into a brief lesson about how pink is JUST a color (I am the art teacher so they think I am the authority on colors) for everyone. As a teacher I am trying my hardest to re-educate these kids in the most non threatening way possible. It will take them a minute to understand that pink isn’t a “girl color”, but a color we can all love I love you for this -- source link
