U.S Presidential Election

Anti-men critics are driving male teachers to extinction
Click to expand...

Ever been a teacher, been part of a school community as a male primary teacher? No? Thought not.

Dredging up a 3 year old anti-feminist diatribe where the author intersperses quotes from a report with her own opinions to make it look like they are somehow associated must have taken a bit of searching. Not worth it, that article is drivel from someone who would be too scared to actually stand in front of a room full of kids, probably wouldn't even be able to do 6 things at once.

Back to Trump: showing exactly why he is not up to the job of President. Can't take advice, can't keep to script, can't fathom that experts know more about anything than him (hint: they actually put the work in and study and research their discipline area).

Epic fail, the best fail, no-one else can fail like the orange man, make America fail again.

Starting on the Thoughts & Prayers early. He must be expecting a massive massacre.
 
Corinthians 11:13-15
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

As a male teacher who loves the profession, I'm a little unsure as to your point.

I've had two careers in my life, as a microbiologist, and as a teacher in an inner city high school. Both professions have been female dominated. The lab that I worked in was something like 80 percent women, the school that I work at has a similar high proportion of female staff.

The lab manager, and director of the lab were both men. The principal at the school also a man. There's your wage gap.

FWIW I would never leave the teaching job now to go back into science professionally, simply because of both the reward and challenge that teaching offers. It's one of the few jobs in the world in which you can make a recognisable difference to the people you help, and where you actually get out what you put in. It's a job where you learn something new every day, solve a different problem every hour, constantly build and develop relationships, and feel like you're genuinely contributing to something good. Having said that, it's also far more intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and at times even physically demanding than any other job I've ever had.

And that's why people leave it. There are very few jobs which require such a broad range of skills, such a huge personal investment, while simultaneously having such little recognition, poor conditions and many, many hours of unpaid overtime. I, like most teachers, do ten to fifteen hours free labour every week. Which eats into that work life balance pretty significantly.

I'm lucky. I love it enough that the good outweighs the bad. But there are times in the year where that is balancing on a knife's edge. I.e, there is a day next week where we are required to be at the school from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. During this time we will be expected to meet with upwards of a hundred sets of parents, all while also marking, writing reports, and planning for the next days lessons. By the way, we will be paid for 7.6 hours.

Don't even get me started on the OHS issues now with coronavirus in the mix. As of right now, even under the circumstances, this is going ahead.

So yeah. This is why teachers leave the profession. Not because of some perceived plot against maleness.

Great post CT. I'm also a high school teacher as a second career, and agree with everything you said. It's a great job a lot of the time and a crap job sometimes. I am lucky to have a great female boss, who is the partner of a retired Tiger star!

And Trump is a absolute ****!

No, it's the general fear of pedos in the community. That's a view shared by both men and women.

Pedos, sure. "Dangerous" links into domestic violence, and the distorted, offensive, destructive projection onto all men as potential abusers.

The goal of militant feminism is to turn men into meek, obedient, faithful puppy dogs. You'll see.

i am still waiting for the trump fans to praise his recent work, or tell us how it is different from his usual *smile*.
he is a bad president now, and has been for the past 3.5 years.
