By DEB FOX ‘‘Were still facing the problem, girls don’t take boys' classes and boys don't take girls' classes, it’s hard to fight on the senior high level,’’ commented Marilyn Curtis. guidance counselor at Wawasee High School. There is a start in breaking the old taboo of what classes girls and boys should take. Currently there are three high school girls taking drafting and in the first semester a freshman boy took cooking’There are a number of students who want to take certain “labeled" classes but don't because of pressure, and the way they have been taught Lorie Skaggs, junior; Crystel Walker, freshman; and Carla Williams, sophomore; are taking their first year of drafting. All three students were encouraged by their parents to take the course and two of them were encouraged by guidance counselors The girls stated the first time anyone heard they were in "boys’ class" they got some teasing and “why" questions.

couraged it She feels that it is more open at bigger schools But is it? Mrs. Curtis was asked to voice her opinion about this situation She feels {he sexual titles on classes began the first day of school w hen the boys Uere told to line up on one side of the room and the girls on the other “The sad part of it is 40 per cent of the married couples get divorced and if a woman is head of a hosuehold she needs more than homemaking skills." She mentioned that 25 per cent of the kids at Wawasee are from divorced families and live with one parent where they may need to know how to cook or do "men’s chores" around the home. Mrs. Curtis commented that out of 900 plus kids in the school, there are girls who want to take agriculture, auto mechanics, drafting and other labeled "boys' classes” and there are boys who want to take home economics, shorthand and other labeled “girls’ classes. " She added these kids will not take those classes because of pressure from their peers, parents and the way they have been taught She feels there are some way s to combat this type of s* nation: (1) increase the awareness that all occupations are open to both sexes Show what is open to men and women, “in my career every career is open." remarked Mrs. Curtis. (2) identifying and using all opportunities, making the kids aware what's going on and have them expanding their roles. <3» at school, bullentin boards can be used to show the reversal of roles which is being accepted throughout the country, <4) pick films which do- not stereotype jobs, make the presentation appealing and practical, (5> have speakers who are successful in the field they are in and what

This w as done earlier in the year where the speaker spoke on “sex stereotyping" for all teachers with special session for guidance, vocational instructors and others Mrs Curtis feels the vocational part is more stereotyped than others The final way would be to make these classes alright from kindergarten up. having more programs on the elementary and junior high levels, along with updating the audio visual and books used in education which still show stereotyped jobs,_. Mrs Curtis stated shehdshad a girl student express thed/ure to be in the auto,mechanicsclass. agricultural class, etc “but the first person has to be a strong individual ” Public Law 92-318. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1971 states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex. be excluded from participation in. be denied the benefits of. or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activityreceiving federal financial assistance ” This law gives girls the right to take whatever class they wish and boys the same , opportunity. With this law. the old taboo "boys classes' and “girls'classes" no longer exist The girls and Mrs Curtis, in general, tried to state that girls and boys should not be inhibited about taking the classes they desire.
