This is my post for Tuesday... I will not be in class due to the fact that I lost a family member this week and I need to be home. You said that this post could be about anything... I think!
I want to talk about my home town and how I think that some work places discriminate against men. In my hometown, Montgomery City, we have a DQ. At this DQ there is no men/boys that work there. I know plenty of guys who were in need of jobs and said what the heck I might as well apply at DQ. Not a single one of them got a call back or a job at DQ. I know for a fact that some of them are better works then the girls/women that work at DQ now. When talking to the girls that work there they say that there boss hates guys and said she would never high one! I don't see how this is right at all.
Another work place that I have never seen hire men until about two years ago is the elementary school in my home town. I have lived my whole life in Montgomery City and I never had a male teacher until I was in middle school. I don't really know why this was the case but now there is a male gym teacher and a male fifth grade teacher at the elementary school.
I think that it is great that there is male teachers on staff because if a boy/young man is having a hard time they may feel that they can talk more openly with another male then a female.
Just something I thought about while reading chapter six.
