You are teaching when an angry parent, Ms. Franklin, comes in and yells at you. She is outraged that boys are playing with boys and girls are playing with girls. She said this does not happen in other schools, and if you mixed up the boys and girls, it would come to an end. What phenomenon is she describing, and is she correct?
What will be an ideal response?
Ms. Franklin is incorrect because studies show young children naturally play more with members of their own gender and that this is somewhat culturally universal. Attempts to change gender segregation have not worked when they have been implemented.
