This debate is never going to cease pissing me off. Don't read the article, it's boring. Summary: it's about teachers being instructed not to say "good boy/girl" anymore, but instead focus on the actual performance, to avoid gender stereotyping, followed by a discussion of "has political correctness gone too far" (simple answer? yes). Yeah. Anyways, there are some winners in the discussion below.
