response to lauren t
This is a really interesting observation i have wondered that myself. I am a communication major but growing up i went to the Jewish day school until 4th grade. All of my teachers were female except for the Rabbi who was a male. I guess i can understand why females are usually teachers for younger children because when kids are younger they have a harder time seperating from their parents when they first go to school. Most children struggle with leaving their mommies. By having female's as teachers it can make the transition easier. I do not think that has to be that way but i think society especially mothers feel more comfortable with their children male or female being taught by a female at least Pre k -1 St. Once i left for middle school and high school my teachers were mixed both male and female. I personally would not have a problem if my child was being taught with whatever gender. I do know that society has harsher ideas about this subject.

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteThis may seem very shocking for me to ask, but would you have happened to have been adopted? I am searching for my birth daughter and your name came up as being born May 22, 1987. I had a baby girl that day at St. Luke's Hospital. I was made to place her for adoption, but did not want to. I was 17 at that time. Antonia Grifo Esq. was the attorney that handled the adoption. She was from Easton, PA. I was beginning my search and found your Blog. I noted in your blog that you went to Jewish Day School. I was told that the adoptive parents were Jewish, but I was never given a name. It is a long shot to ask you. I am sorry if this is impersonal, but I have no other way to make contact. Please forgive me for seeming intrusive. I just need to find her. Thank you so much for even reading this~ Tracy Pekurny (maiden name at time I had her was Zapp)
