I’m a 38 year old male and I teach 5th grade Math, Science, and US History in Texas. We actually have several men at my school. Every year on the first day of school I ask the kids if they have ever had a male teacher. Most have not. Every year I have siblings of kids from previous years and have been requested by parents because the older brothers and sisters enjoyed being in my class.
In case anyone is wondering, I’m on my lunch break, not Freeping during class.
Be sure to clean your history files as well.
Good for you! When I was in elementary school, we had one male teacher who happened to be black. He must’ve taught for forty years. My older children had one male teacher at their elementary, and he taught PE. He was black. He recently retired after teaching for at least 30 years. We loved him and the discipline he brought to his students. My middle children had one male teacher at their elementary school, and he was a little light in the loafers. Only one of my children had him as a teacher, and we moved her to a charter school because he thought she was too smart for the school. He was having to teach multiplication tables to fourth graders. She was the only one who knew them! My youngest children have one male teacher in their school. He teaches PE. I trust the male custodians more than I trust him. Oh. If we had not left Tucson, my youngest child would have had a retired Marine as his kindergarten teacher. I was looking forward to that, but we moved. :-)
