How many male reception teachers do we know?  (156 Posts)
PeterParkerSays Fri 28-Jun-13 11:27:38  DS starts school in
September and, as the current Reception teacher is leaving,
they've recruited a new Reception teacher for DS' class. He came
into school for the first time yesterday, for a play session
with the September intake.  He's a NQT, mid-30s, so presumably
had another career first, and he's a bloke. I'm not turning this
into an "ooh, men can't care for little ones" thing because
that's bollocks or a "rah, rah we've got a male primary teacher"
thing - I just want a decent teacher for DS' class, whoever they
are.  A group of mums were chatting last night though and none
of us could remember another male Reception teacher, even when
we were in Infants ourselves. I wondered, with male teachers
being in the minority in Primary schools, does anyone else know
of a male Reception teacher, just out of interest more than
anything?  HormonalHousewife Fri 28-Jun-13 12:45:28  I dont
