As a 4th grade teacher for the last 35 years I do know how lucky I've been. I was hired during a time when men were being accepted as elementary level teachers. We even had a male Kdg. teacher. Our principal and BOE knew the value of having male role models. There was no stigma. I am the last remaining male of that good old days staff. My only hope is that when I retire next year I am replaced with another male teacher. I have loved every minute of teaching at this level.
