Schools go about this in different ways, largely based on their leadership. Many Swedish children begin going to these programs when they are just one year old.

Their teachers cleared the room of cars and dolls. They put the boys in charge of the play kitchen. They made the girls practice shouting “No!” Then they decided to open a proper investigation, erecting video cameras in the classroom.
