[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]She probably IS a great teacher which is why they have her a high needs class like this. The better the teacher you are, the harder the classes they give you because they know you can handle it. Parents think the good teachers are in the honors/AP classes which could not be more wrong. That’s where they stick the [b]men[/b] who can’t do anything besides lecture and give notes because they assume the kids will be fine either way.[/quote]

Why did you gender your comment?

-Male teacher[/quote]

Because very few male teachers I’ve met or worked with have actually been good at teaching. They don’t know anything about scaffolding, avoid coteaching, and show weaponized incompetence when given lower grade level and/or higher needs classes until admin finally says “oh he can’t work with anyone but the seniors / the honors kids / the electives.” The heaviest lifting and labor in schools is generally put on women. [/quote]

You forgot the part where the male teacher goes on to become a principal, then moves into central administration and ends up running the district.[/quote]

True true . The male history teacher who taught for 4 years to principal pipeline is strong. [/quote]

Don’t forget, it’s a choice.  Many female teachers don’t want that.  After 25 years I make more and work fewer days and hours than the young APs who did this.  I don’t want to work summers and evenings.  Being a principal is awful and is only worse if you are the main principal.  The salaries are public.  They will eventually make more but it comes with nights, weekends, summers, stress and no job security if you need to take the fall for something stupid that happened at your school.  [/quote]
