Are you crazy or trying to be funny? |
You are better off homeschooling. You may get a female teacher but remember, there may still be a male gym teacher, male music teacher, male janitor, male cafeteria worker, male principal, etc. Can't shelter your child from everything and everyone. |
Cork it without the facts
|
Well for one thing, don't visit the White House as a tourist. The president is male, you know. Just looking out for you! |
Tragic. Pray for the kids. |
I've decided to prevent any males from even seeing my daughter until she is married. |
Taliban! |
If they wanted to keep it quiet, they did a shitty job, since everyone already knew and it was all over the news, back in March. Stop trying to find a conspiracy just because you were apparently out of the loop. |
Yes, they will think you are crazy. And you really are. My daughter will have her first male teacher this year, and she's in grade 4. So the chances of a male teacher at the elementary level are slim. Still, you are fucking nuts. |
But doesn't it get expensive to ship burqas to the States? Or do you make them yourself? |
This has nothing to do with the President and I am not "fucking nuts", thanks though! It is a known fact that child molesters often go into professions where they work closely and can prey on young children (teachers, doctors, priests, Jerry Sandusky, etc). Growing up, there was a pediatrician in my town who was preying on young girls, and various inappropriate male teachers. Maybe it is something in my town, but other people I know seem to have had some questionable experiences at some point in their life to. 9/10 men in these fields are probably 100% innocent and well intentioned, it is the 1/10 that I would rather avoid working closely with my child. You cannot deny the facts that this kind of stuff is in the news all of time, and most often, we never know these things happen. This guy was doing this for 13 years without anyone having an inkling of what he was doing. I really don't care if any of you think I'm crazy. I wanted to see if anyone agreed with me and I guess not- that is totally fine. Good to know. |
Citation needed. Please back your claim that 10% of men are child-molesters. Please use U.S. statistics. I am a male ES teacher and your attitude and prejudice disgust me. I hope you DO request all female teachers because as a parent, you would be a nightmare to deal with. |
I hope you realize quickly that your fucked up neurotic behavior will turn your child into an insecure nut job, and predators do indeed prey on the weak. So you're setting your kid up . . . big time! |
ES Teach, Ignore her. As a HS teacher, we see the damage done to kids from a very young age on. That mother will only ruin her kid. And no - you don't want that kid in your class. I had one parent who was so obnoxious to all her child's teachers that when she requested meeting conversation with a teacher, an administrator had to be present. And even then, they set parameters on how often she could request conferences. nutty parent = nutty kid |
To the scared PP: My son LOVES make teachers and really connects with them. He was lucky to have the same guy for two years in preschool. Sadly, there are nine in his elementary school. And I lived having male teachers as a kid, too. There is often a very different energy and dynamic. I would hope if my son chose to be a teacher, he wouldn't face such paranoia about his sex . There are many ways to teach your kid to be safe. Be proactive like that instead of condemning men just because they are men. "Protecting the Gift" is a great book if you are interested. |
