Gender exists on a spectrum and there are far more than two genders, the curriculum taught to middle schoolers in Dover-Sherborn says.
The seventh-grade health curriculum at Dover-Sherborn Regional Middle School uses the genderbread person in its curriculum to teach this claim as fact, as opposed to the common understanding that there are two sexes: male and female, with typical gender expressions of each sex. Seventh-graders are generally 12 or 13 years old. The school, located in Dover, Massachusetts, about 14 miles southwest of Boston, serves 482 students from Grades 6 through 8, according to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
