Andy never imagined that grading an exam would lead to disciplinary proceedings. 📝
A specialist in emotional education and neuroscience applied to adolescence explained that Spanish is structured to communicate clearly, without the need for gendered double forms or artificial markers. Using that argument, she failed a student’s exam because the student wrote in inclusive language.
The school authorities did not see a pedagogical criterion there, but rather a problem. They opened an administrative case against her over her decision. Today, Andy’s case circulates as an example of something more and more teachers are facing: taking a position on language can be costly. 😮
