[quote=Anonymous]To male preschool and elementary school teachers: Thank you.  My children, both a son and a daughter, valued tremendously having both male and female teachers in preschool and elementary school and beyond. In my view, it helped my son to have male role models in the classroom, and for both of my children to see and experience gender balance.    More importantly, my kids have had extraordinary teachers, both men and women, who have supported our kids in becoming the kind, community-oriented and engaged high schoolers and adults they are today.  Thank you, males and females alike.  And I am so sorry for the excellent male teachers who are being grouped together with horrific child abusers.  I can’t imagine if I had worked as hard as I know you do only to be treated as presumptive pedophiles.

And to anyone concerned about the feminization of education, consider that your child’s understanding of gender norms are set at a very young age.  I am a high functioning woman in a predominantly male field, and I’m perfectly comfortable with that.  Had I been a presumptive pedophile, though, I think I would have chosen a different path (as I would assume everyone I know).

So how about we seek better oversight/processes/checks, and if needed more direct oversight (filmed classrooms for students at young ages) rather than bring out the pitchforks against men teachers?
