Was told lately primary schools are crying out for male classroom assistants. I always wonder in primary schools why there is such a small % of male teachers? Do you think it's a job many males would do? |

Not a male job ... in saying that one teacher of my sons who was male was brilliant. |

Is it at the stage where positive discrimination should be looked at as the role of a male within a school can have positive effect on our kids
My lads went to an all female staffed school and yes I did see a need for a male input |

I work in education. The situation is that, much like nursing, primary teaching is viewed societally as a "caring profession". Therefore historically it has been a role that society has deemed women to be capable for.
It's nonsense really and essentially derives from patriarchal notions of what jobs women should or shouldn't be allowed perform. |

Women historically haven't had the choice for many jobs in Ireland. Prior to 1973, women working in the civil service were forced to give up their jobs upon getting married for instance. |

For my last three years in primary school I had male teachers. These guys should have never been allowed work with kids, they were evil bastards. Maybe a lot of men are not cut out to work with kids and that's why you don't get many male teachers in primary school. |

Not a male job....ffs.....
Of course it is. More male primary teachers are needed for the male pupils sake. . When i was at primary staff levels were roughly 50/50 male/female and all of my male primary teachers were fantastic role models and not an evil one amongst them, and it was a catholic school near Dublin in 70's and 80's. I think its only recently its been viewed as a female job and male teacher numbers have dropped. Men also care and therefore can and do work in the so called caring professions. My nephew is training to be primary teacher and nearly half on his course are male. |
