'Male teachers have worked in girls’ schools for some time, it’s not a new concept.' Yep ... I went to a girls' school. There were lots of male teachers - including the odd one we found a bit creepy. But here's four things they never did: 1. Tell us they were women and that we had to call them 'Miss' 2. Publish an article in the newspaper about travelling abroad for a 'sex change' op and/or hold a raffle to raise money for it (1990s pre-internet version) 3. Use toilets, showers and changing facilities reserved for female staff or students - or claim they were entitled to do so 4. Supervise girls getting changed for PE or dance - or claim they were entitled to do so Had they done any of these things - or had there been even the slightest concern they *might* be - this would have raised serious safeguarding concerns. Now girls - and their parents - are told its 'unkind' to question what would once have been extremely concerning behaviour.
