"If I *had to* beat a woman ..." ??? Okay, I suppose it's positive that they would rather leave than beat someone, but it's interesting that it's even in the list of behaviors to consider. Maybe it would make sense to have a discussion on alternative ways to deal with conflict, if the only two choices are beating or leaving. ------- Sylvan Rainwater mailto:sylvan@cccchs.org Program Managaer Family Literacy Clackamas Co.

I have one male teacher and three female teachers. At our last meeting, the male teacher shared that in one of the read aloud books that he is reading out loud to his class, there is a description of a woman leaving a man who beat her. After he finished reading that section, various learners (all female) talked about their reactions to the woman leaving. The male students were quiet, and so he asked them what their reactions were to this section. They replied, "If I had to beat a woman, I would leave her." The teacher was pleased that the males in his class talked about leaving a woman instead of beating her. I am curious if any of you have any reactions to the above.
