Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to learn about the nature of interactions between Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Trans-identified, and Two-Spirited (LGBQTT) parents and their children?s teachers and school principals. A case study and narrative inquiry methodology was used to examine the research questions in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to capture the experiences o f six parents in Northern Ontario. This method of study allowed for each participant to tell their own story about their thoughts, feelings, and perceptions about being an LGBQTT parent in a school community. Five common themes were identified during data \nanalysis. These themes were: (1) coming out at school; (2) impact of disclosure on their children; (3) acceptance and validation; (4) lack of representation of non-normative families; and (5) high parental involvement in their children?s schools. The participants in this study emphasized the \nimportance of full disclosure of family structure in school. They felt accepted and validated by school staff, but were acutely aware that homophobia and heterosexism nevertheless exists in school communities. The thesis concludes with recommendations for teachers, principals, and LGBQTT parents, as well as ideas for future research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
