A new persona
I was hating the new school year. Try as I might, I wasn't having fun. I had two very large non-academic Grade 12 classes, English and Social and I had huge feelings of dread every morning before work. Then I got to thinking. All the guys like me have pretty much gotten out of the profession and if they're still in it, few are reaching any positions of leadership. These guys were once in vogue, quiet guys who wield a large stick tthey rarely use because they're communication skills are generally good. That is, they listen. My dad was one of the them as was my father-in-law. The father-figure is just not in vogue. It's been replaced replaced by the mother-figure. To get ahead, men are generally one of two types, very masculine or very femine. Of course, with the feminization of the education, the largest number of administrative positions have been filled by women. In our school district, both the assistant superintendent and the deputy assistant superintendent are female which on its own is neither good or bad but for me, it's bad. I need a new persona. I can't be the ass-hole gym teacher so the only alternative is feminization.
