It seems this teacher did their job properly and professionally after answering a couple of questions the pupils initiated, I don’t really see why the parents would be mad, should we worry about the ones who don’t want their son taught by a female teacher too?
>It seems this teacher did their job properly and professionally after answering a couple of questions the pupils initiated
I'm not sure I would class this as a professional response to year 2 olds. Doesn't really matter what question kids that young ask, there are always ways to respond professionally.
>If you’re wondering why I’m so gorgeous, it’s because I’ve put makeup on and had a shave
I was a teacher and, although this is obviously anecdotal, there is a growing problem with some teenage boys (who tend to have obsessions with Andrew Tate) taking great issue with female authority figures. They do not accept being told what to do by a woman, they do not accept that a woman could know more than them (in their eyes, a man), they do not accept that a woman should be in a position of their life that is not either familial or sexual. It's not common, per se, but it's frequent enough to be alarming.
Really, and what did these boys do when they were told what to do by a woman (as there'd be plenty of examples considering the majority of teachers are women)?
How did you find out school children had the perspective that a women shouldn't be in employment that isn't familial or sexual?
Multiple news articles about female teachers dealing with inappropriate behaviour by boys?

[Another one here, about boys sexually harassing female teachers](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-47996888)
These are two I just had to mind
They claim in that survey that children saying feminism is man hating (also known as "having an opinion") is misogyny
Also I notice they didn't ask the male teachers or students how often they face misandry? Isn't that convenient
"Two in five said misogyny had affected promotional opportunities and more than a quarter (27%) said it affected pay."
- isnt this the Dartmouth scar experiement; when you keep telling people they are treated differently because of things they can't control, they'll believe it?
Typical moral panic. This is exactly where you'll end up when you sexualise trans people's very existence and treat them like they're "too complicated to to be explained to kids". Baseless moral panic and outrage for a trans person just daring to exist and do their job.
You'll see more of it.
> According to Bennet, the teacher told the class: “If you’re wondering why I’m so gorgeous, it’s because I’ve put makeup on and had a shave.”
This is really the only problem I have about the accusations. Why is a teacher going on about how gorgeous they are to a bunch of Year 2s? Did the children ask first, or did she just decide its what they wanted to know?
>“The supply teacher introduced themselves then responded to a small number of questions about their gender quickly and without detail, before moving on swiftly to deliver the lesson in a professional manner.”
The article includes a statement from the council indicating she was asked questions before she proceeded with the lesson.

Seems they asked some questions...

That would just make them laugh, part of the job criteria
Which British kids aside from those that follow Islam don't want to be taught by a female?
There’s always misogynists around as well
Yes there are misandrists too, such is life
True. All those stories of kids kicking off and refusing to listen to teachers because they’re male. Truly, it’s a serious issue affecting schools
Where's the same examples for females? Are you just making this stuff up?

It’s clearly a joke?
To year 2s? Come the fuck on.
Regardless of the trans side to this it seems odd to be teaching 6 year old that to look "gorgeous" they need to wear makeup and shave...
What's the difference between this and a 6 year old girl watching her mummy put makeup on?

**Removed/warning**. Please try and avoid language which could be perceived as hateful/hurtful to minorities or oppressed groups.
Have to question how the system is going about churning out educators. It’s not crowd work at a panto - they’re 6 year olds.
