[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is a hilarious example of how arrogant and ignorant supposedly educated people can be.

I'm a male preschool teacher. As a few intelligent people have noted, we aren't viewed the same way female teachers are, and the straight and narrow is a hell of a lot narrower. [b]The teacher in question is almost certainly saying this as a CYA[/b]. If you don't get why, go find a male teacher in the elementary or EC years and ask him.

And in my classroom, I don't have a rule regarding what goes on under skirts and dresses, but believe me that it's quite obvious when parents haven't appropriately dressed their daughters. My rule with my daughter (who's preschool-aged) has been that she always wears shorts under dresses and skirts unless she's in pajamas, no exceptions. This is a rule I've enforced since she turned two. [/quote]

OK. But in fact it's not going to CHA, is it? Not if he gets in trouble for it. Perhaps he should have asked some colleagues for suggestions for CYA alternatives that wouldn't get him in trouble.[/quote]

Something tells me the principal is used to dumbo parents with these kinds of complaints, as believe me, male teachers in the early grades get all kinds of dung thrown at them by parents (usually moms) who, deep down, simply don't think people with penises should be around young girls. So no, I don't think he's going to get in trouble at all for this.[/quote]
