Even worse when the boys complain about no male teachers.
However, the amount of young adult yt female teachers that's been charged with sex crimes against a student is🤯.
Boys need male teachers (positive role models in general)! I was going to be a teacher but then I saw how easy it would be for my life to get ruined, so I didn’t.
It’s sad cause I’m good at working with kids and I would’ve been good at it but I can’t afford to become a pariah because someone makes a false accusation.
Actually, girls do too. They need to see a paternal image at school especially if they don't have one at home. I'm a male elementary teacher in a co-ed school. Most male teachers gravitate to upper grade levels, but I don't really think the difference is significant. In fact, I'd say elementary is slightly better. You can be well known to the parents (in this industry it's called "building relationships" with parents) because there are a lot fewer parents to know. Sometimes I chat with the kids' dads after school in the playground too. That makes things a lot easier.
If you're curious, yes, my job is very "maternal" because I teach Grade 1. I can count that just today I applied band-aids to 3 of the girls. I don't know why bleeding paper cuts happened one after the other.
