Geography teacher cleared of raping pupil says men should stay away from teaching
Education: When innocent touches put a teacher at risk. Note this is from from 1999
This fear climate is messing with the future of our country. There are parents who will not let their kids have a male teacher because Oprah said something that one time. Women teachers never do that stuff These incidents are not that common but they make great news copy so they get reported way out of line for what they are. The removal of men from teaching is not something that just impacts men and kids, either. As I have commented on before.
Honestly, if I was in the spot to direct young men to be successful in life? I'd tell them to go to Khan Academy and learn shit online and go find a union hall that has an apprentice program. The jobs that require physical interactions are not going to be outsources easily. Then in your spare time go to a community college and get an AA degree to fill out your ability to write and read and present an argument. CC's are cheap and the degree is still a degree that looks good on a resume.
