[quote=Anonymous]No, I wouldn't. What matters to me is that the program is set up with appropriate safeguards. At our preK, no teacher could ever be alone with a student out of eyesight and earshot of another adult. And I listened carefully to what my kid told me about her day, and asked questions, and talked generally about how adults should never ask a kid to keep secrets from their parents, and there was never anything that set off any alarms. I think it's so sad that people can't imagine why a man would want to teach preschoolers. It's a delightful age, and I know men who genuinely enjoy being around little kids. They can be wonderful teachers and caregivers. And most men never abuse anyone. To me, what's more important is the systems in place to prevent abuse and to respond to it quickly. [/quote]
