Are men and women treated as equals in the workforce?
This paragraph adresses the problems that ECE professionals face. Women in the ECE field are "expected" to care for children. Teachers are seen as babysitters instead of professionals. Teachers are not getting the "recognition" that they deserve. The turn over rate is high caused by low pay and plenty of unpaid hours that teachers go through to set up there classrooms and lesson plans. I see my co - workers who have been in the field for decades and they still put in extra hours and long days staying over time to set up a classroom. Every child care professional that I have met be it male or female are ECE professionals because they love their job. Many teachers have to take on a second job to stay above water with their bills. Why are teachers not seen in socity as professionals? Could it be because we live in a male dominant society?
