Teacher Cuts Off Her Waist-Length Hair To Help Out Bullied Little Girl

Back in the day, in my school, this would only lead to the teacher’s hair being made fun of.

  1. I’m confused. I thought we were encouraging children to call boys girls and girls boys in school nowadays. Make up your damn minds! Good teacher though in regards to this situation all kidding aside.

  2. I hope she donated the hair for cancer patient wigs.

    My son’s friend while in middle school was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Surgery and radiation/chemo caused his hair to drop out. To show support the principal said he would shave his hair. Almost every boy in his class, and most in the school did the same. Some girls cut their hair to donate for wigs. That really meant a lot to that kid. It helped him get through a really scary time. He is now a computer analyst at NSA.

  3. I for one, do not (and have never) think/thought that hair makes a woman. Been an ass and legs man all my life.

  4. @joe6pak, I kinda get where you’re coming from, but I have to tell ya, I was very grateful for a male teacher my son had in kindergarten. There were two teachers, actually, and the kids had one in the morning (male, American) and the other in afternoon (female, German). Every quarter they switched that up.

    The female teacher was pretty much a pain in the arse: she had major control issues, was a bit of a bully, blew off the info I gave her for supports my boy needed (straightforward, but really helpful) and then wondered why she was complaining about him all the time. On top of that, she was the sort of female who was completely clueless about boys and treated them with disdain.

    The man, on the other hand, told me he had absolutely no issues with my boy. He was a little standoffish, but I was really glad to have a teacher with a male perspective who could relate to the boys. He was a great classroom manager and knew exactly what to do and when to do it to re-direct, etc. The female was used to middle school aged kids and I was pretty unimpressed with her.

  5. Lisl, it’s not like me to paint with a broad brush (ha..ha) like that and jump to conclusions. No doubt there are several good male kindergarten teachers. One thing about Alaska that I know of, a lot of the schools are first rate and the teachers are first rate as well.

  6. @joe6pak, I’ve heard when I was in school that we have some of the strictest/toughest/whatever teaching requirements in the nation, though to be honest I don’t know if it’s true or was just our clinical advisor telling us things that will make us work harder.

    We did have two males (they were elementary, though, not early childhood) in our cohort, but construction pays way more so that’s what both of them are now doing.

  7. Gestures like what this teacher did leave me cold. It makes me suspicious of her motives. If the kid was being bullied, find the bullies and haul ’em before the principal. Find the root cause and take care of it.
