I am deeply, deeply offended.
At the school I am tutoring at, the last two Wednesdays I've had two female students (aged 13ish) as my pupils because their regular tutor has been away. On their own these two are quite well behaved, but together they are very silly and giggly. The last Wednesday that I had them they simply ignored my prompts to do any work and instead delighted in doing that silly girlie teasing shit that they do. So I was trying to use this to get them to work (eg: if they finish the revision sheet I'll show them my old highschool class photo). This pretty much backfired and they would not under any circumstances do any work.
Sitting opposite from me was one of the regular teachers who was watching all of this (not actually helping, mind you), who suddenly sent the two girls out of the classroom together on an errand. WTF?
I was sitting there with no students thinking "what is this all about?"
Anyway, today I had the same class and I decided I would not have these two girls because a) I did not have the patience for their crap today, and b) I was a little troubled over the whole getting them out of the classroom thing. So the teacher says to me;
"Today I'm going to give you two
boys to tutor." Notice she didn't say she was going to give me two better behaved students.
"Cool," I reply, "I was going to ask for different kids anyway."
"Yes, those two have really had you wrapped around their little fingers with their
feminine wiles."
This is when I thought, "now hang the fuck on!". How is this any different from the boys I often have who act in just the same manner when they feel like doing nothing. But that's not all. I said something like:
"Yeah, I guess girls of this age are a little hard to control."
To which she said something like "you won't be able to control a whole classroom of girls judging by your methods."
Thankfully this was during the lunch break, as I went to take a shit and think this over. At worst she had basicly accused my of flirting with 13 year old girls, at best she was insinuating that they were flirting with me and I was loving it. When I got back I was pissed off. Really fucking pissed off. If you are male and you are a teacher, you are automatically labeled a sex deviant. No wonder there are so few men wanting to get into this profession.
Right now I am trying to decide my next course of action. Do I ring the supervisor and tell her that I will no longer be participating in this program, as my confidence has taken a nasty blow under this sort of implication. There is only one more week left and I do need to get the official certificates and paper work. But I am fucking annoyed. Or do I have it out with the teacher (who is on the same rank as the supervisor) and demand a "please explain". Even then I am loath to return on principle.
The main problem is that I am going back there next year for more prac, and I need to maintain a positive image. These people will be marking me on next year's assessment. Fuck! I think I need to cool off before doing anything.
