If it's relevant to the subject/lesson, I briefly define and maybe explain the term. If it's not, I tell the student to ask me after class.

Feminism is an ideology that started as the concept that men and women were I generally equal and should be treated as such.

As society has moved forward and the western world has reflected more equal treatment, feminism has splintered into a lot of other thoughts, including some that state women are superior to men, that men are terrible, and other more radical thoughts.

Depending on the context and who is using the word, they may mean this in a positive way or a negative way. Like any ideology, there are those who are extremists and use it as justification for sexism and even violence.

It is important to recognize how people are using the word, which "faction" of feminism they are referring to, and so on.

My daughter had this thing in her 1st grade class where they had several different kinds of chairs that could be used. Everything from beach chairs, benches, yoga balls, stools, or just standing. It supposedly helps them learn more efficiently or some shit. Idk. Teacher explained it at a parent teacher night.

Explain the original intent and go no further. Don't need some angry new wave or 3rd wave or whatever "feminist" mom on my ass.

He has to be.

Because administrators just love when a teacher lets their class get derailed in a highly tested subject.

A good teacher can engage a class and inquisitive minds without losing control.

A shit teacher gets asked a question by a kid and just goes "THIS IS MATH TIMMY!"

Guess what Timmy is going to do less? Think and talk.

School isn't about information rentention you know. It's about learning how to learn, the concept of a workplace, of deadlines, of forming ideas.

The teachers who just go nose to book, only about the subject are the most boring and the kids will learn the least. Shows a lack of skill and ability.

Or Timmy could just take the question to Social Studies.

"Doctor, why isn't my car starting?"
"This is a clinic"
"Well you're a shit doctor"
