It just doesn't cover teachers - only students. When it passed parents of girls were forced to insist that school districts ensure equal treatment in classrooms as well as on the playing field. I recall being publicly shellacked by the local athletic director back in 1973 for suggesting that funding should be expended equally for girls' sports but academics never seemed to rise to the public debate. Still we monitored our schools to ensure that our daughters received equal treatment. Sad that it has taken 35 years for acknowledgment that we were right to do so.
