    What frustrating experiences!

    It IS discrimination. It’s not likely that the local government will take it on nor the programs. The difficult part about this problem is – what will you gain.

    My suggestion is to talk with the parents. Help them get to know you. Show them the book about Essential Touch by Frances Carlson: https://www.menteach.org/product/books/essential_touch .

    Keep in touch and let us know what you figure out.

    Hi, Manual:

    Great to read your posting.

    I do think young men are willing to be adventurous. Most of the young men that I meet who go into teaching had someone who encouraged them. There are some great summer camps or afterschool programs that are a great place for young men to get a taste of what teaching is like.

    There are also some scholarship programs out there too.

    Check out the Resources link on the MenTeach site:

    Keep in touch!
