There is not much gender diversity when it comes the type of people who teach kindergarten. Most teachers in this grade being females. This article, written by a Florida mom, discusses her family’s preconceived assumption of the female that would be teaching her daughter’s class and their amazement when the teacher turned out to be a male.
The author first describes the ways their family tries to raise their two young girls in a gender neutral environment. Some ways she tries to lead a gender neutral environment is by teaching the girls that God could be male or female and making an effort to refer to animals using both male and female pronouns. The article then educates the reader on the lack of male teachers in primary education and stresses the importance of having more males in these positions.
