Thing is I can't even begin to answer it. Perhaps NotPC can help out. Would seem to be rather more up his alley than mine. Yikes. There's a thought.
Do alleys have genders?

Teaching twaddle
Check out the following NCEA question. It is apparently a compulsory question from a Geography exam. Sounds more like Gender Studies - twaddle from twats.

In a mens worls, aren't they all masculine? Some may suggest to be femine, but poor understanding of design gives away poor respect of its deviding and/or unifying powers...
That sums up why they are quite ugly, all of these pictures. ;-)

God I hope this is a joke.
Are we really teaching our children this shite? No wonder the country is spiralling.
Paranormal
Here's a business opportunity going begging, for someone with web skills and some free time: set up a website where these kinds of questions can be published, along with the best smart-arse answers our kids come up with.
To answer your question about alleys Lindsay: Back alleys are male and front passages are female.
I've found similar questions for math, biology and english:

This is unfair!
For decades, education of social sciences has been handled from perspectives of power and powerlessness.
You look at racism and sexism as possible reasons of why things are the way they are.
The ability to adopt an unfamiliar perspective is fundamentally to a range of career choices including Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy > leading to careers in social work, counselling, social design etc.
Who of all these posters is qualified to make uncritical judgements as they have done. Are you not just sharing your pooled ignorance? There is a need to get a life, and look into things before being so dismissive and ignorant.
Yes Lindsay, alleys have genders.
Think of alleys, tunnels and caves as opposed to obelisks, towers and bananas!!!
You are STARTING to see the logic here. Well done.
So Anon, where's the question in GEOGRAPHY on how modern architecture has lost it's reverence for God, and to explain how today's rejection of Christian values might be mirrored in our buildings? (for example)
Which of course also reflects the 1 week spent studying this topic objectively. Do you think that would ever be a question that came up in NCEA GEOGRAPHY (that didn't involve Christian bashing), that would enable the student to look at things from a different perspective?
Oh wow Lindsay. That question is shocking. It has nothing to do with Geography. It looks designed to reinforce gender stereotypes.
How would learning the answer to this question improve the life skills or earning potential of a student? It wouldn't.
