TEACHING MASCULINITY

(teaching)(humor)

Me and two teachers. Talking. Telling me about how they create a social contract for their classrooms, and paste it on the wall. And keep it there all year. And refer to it. “Are you taking care of the classroom?” “Are you taking care of each other?” Very socialist. Very ‘social harmony’. And brilliant in many ways.

I walk over to the wall, and pretend i’m writing on it.

“I am the teacher and you shall obey”. Generating the synchronous response that that is totalitarian.

“The teacher is always right.” Synchronously generating the response “No, because even the teacher can learn.”

“Might makes right”. Synchronously generating head-shaking.

I tried. I really did. But they have this whole social contract thing down. And it’s a required skill for all teachers. lol

We need “Rugby”, “King of the hill”, “Everything you got”, and “Finish him!!!” in the curriculum somewhere. ‘Cause this whole domestication thing is just too… It’s like brain damage for males. lol
