In 1978, first grade teachers in my district were still using a workbook that
had a page on the work men do and a page on the work women do. If the child
drew a line from the picture of the man to the stove or from the picture of
the woman to the lawnmower, the paper was marked incorrect. (The fact that
there was hardly a single lawn in the industrial district where I worked was
another equity issue.)
