The family states they do not want their son dressed up in a “girl’s apron” and do not want him in roles that women should be doing. They suggest the teacher not allow boys to play dress up in the dramatic play and state she should discuss this with the entire class.
Scenario 3
During a training for all your early childhood education staff members on how to use developmentally appropriate technology in the early childhood education environment, you overhear one of your veteran preschool teachers saying the training was a waste of time because the children in your program were too poor to have access to technology, so it was a waste of time to use it in school. She proceeded to say that children needed to just go back to playing outside like they did before.
