I have a special profession, I am a male preschool teacher. You may not imagine, how can boys be kindergarten teachers, aren't all kindergarten teachers girls? Yes, I didn't expect that by accident, I would become a male kindergarten teacher.
Becoming a male preschool teacher or taking away the "relationship" of relatives. I graduated from a regular normal school. That was eight years ago, when I didn't find a job for a long time, and a relative gave me a suggestion, saying, "Fei, we have a private kindergarten here, and the director has a lot of ideas and wants to recruit a male kindergarten teacher." Why don't you try it? Do it first, but if you can't do it, you quit, and now it's not easy to find a job, so it's an internship. ”
At first, I was very resistant, and even blamed my relatives in my heart: I graduated from a regular normal school, let me become a male kindergarten teacher, what do you think? In this way, I accepted the proposal of my relatives and decided to go and "give it a try".
The director is an "uncle" in his fifties. I was very happy to hear that I was coming. I've been babbling about the prospect of a boy teacher and the importance of a boy teacher. Finally, he patted me on the shoulder and swore solemnly, "Xiao Yuan." You will be the first male kindergarten teacher in our county, and you will also be an epoch-making male kindergarten teacher!"
So, I stayed in the principal's "flickering". Maybe he sees a prospect and I see just a job with a paying.
Today, I have been a boy teacher for seven or eight years, and I have changed from looking at a job to looking at a career. The principal has also changed from "uncle" to "uncle", but he still likes to pull me and chatter to describe to me the broad prospects of the boys. Although I secretly laughed at his ignorance of current affairs, I was also grateful for the stage he gave me. He thought I was working hard because I believed in his "foolishness", but in fact, I really fell in love with the profession of a boy's teacher. There are no broad prospects, at least in the current society, male preschool teachers are still not recognized, or even despised.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the "blind date market". As I grew older, I had several kisses, almost all of which ended up because of my status as a male teacher. Let me tell you a few funny examples, so let's make everyone laugh. It's okay to taunt me, I'm comfortable now.
Meet at the café. Female A asked me, "I heard that you are a teacher?"
Me: "Sort of. ”
Female A: "I heard that you are rated as an excellent teacher every year?"
Me: "It's all about the leaders, and the competition is small." ”
Female A: "That's not bad. Tell me what you're asking for. ”
Me: "My request is simple, you don't mind if I'm a kindergarten teacher." ”
Female A: "What, you're a male teacher?!" The matchmaker didn't say anything. Then I still have some problems, so I'll go first. ”
Me: "Okay, you go slowly." ”
I'm no longer surprised by these scenes, and now that someone is telling me about matchmaking, I will tell you first, and I must tell people that I am a male teacher.
In fact, not only in the blind date market, but also my friends often joke about my identity as a male teacher, but I am now very calm and often use this to ridicule myself. Some of them are even embarrassed to bring up the topic themselves.
Then a friend must have asked, since the profession of male preschool teacher can affect life, then why don't I change jobs?
Because I love this job because I know the importance of being a male teacher. The work done by male kindergarten teachers is definitely irreplaceable by female kindergarten teachers. First of all, in our kindergarten, the children are very clear about the difference between boys and girls. They understood early on that boys and girls were different, that little boys would look for me when they went to the toilet, and little girls would find female kindergarten teachers. It is of great significance for children to distinguish the difference between their boys and girls.
Secondly, the mood of the male preschool teacher is more stable. We come into contact with so many children every day, and there are always some inexplicable tempers or inexplicable things that children do. Do you think female preschool teachers will be more patient? No, women are born with much lower stress tolerance than men, so male preschool teachers are far better than female preschool teachers in terms of emotional control. In my seven or eight years in the industry, I have never lost patience with any child, let alone lost my temper.
Moreover, male preschool teachers have greater strength and ability, and can be better qualified for some jobs.
In fact, at work, many parents have questioned and disagreed with male kindergarten teachers. Some parents even suggested that either I would change the class, or let their children change the class. It makes me look like some kind of beast.
So, during the parent-teacher conference, I said this to the parents:
Dear parents, I know that the novelty of male kindergarten teachers is indeed difficult for many parents and friends to accept. But I believe it's only temporary. Because I have the confidence that you will see me as a teacher first, and then focus on my gender, whether it is male or female. In this world, there are two kinds of people, male or female. But there is only one kind of teacher, and that is to learn from a high school as a teacher and Dexin as a model, which is also the principle that I have always adhered to after graduating from normal school. I don't dare to call myself a sage, but I dare not forget the five words "being a teacher" for the rest of my life. I came from the normal school to pick up your children into the kindergarten, and I made a promise to them from the three-foot podium, 'In the three years of kindergarten, Teacher Yuan will take care of your growth with full of sincerity.' ’
Be a teacher and keep your promises. The children get along with me day and night, and they still believe in my enthusiasm, why do you want to separate me from the children because of my status as a male teacher? You think that children are small, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, but I think that children are small, and they can distinguish between the true and the false. Today, you go back and ask the children, if any child says that they are willing to leave Teacher Yuan, then all my excellent teacher certificates in the past few years will be returned.
After this passage, no parents asked to either let me go, or the children left. I have always remembered the words of the director "uncle": when I stop doing it, you will become the director. Alas...... I don't know when the "uncle" will be willing to retire, but it will be easier for me to go on a blind date.
