His name was Joe. I have just trasferred centres and I was sad to leave him. It seemed that the children respected him more that they did the women. In a world of single mother homes he is the male role model. Some of the stories that he has told me were when a mother followed him home and showed up on his doorstep with a bottle of wine and other romanic items!!!! His girlfriend at the time (now his wife) answered the door. boy was that mother embarassed. Other mothers have made coments to him that if a male said these things to a woman they would be charged with sexual harassment. When he was in collage (I went to school as well with him but we wern't good friends) I am not sure if it was him or another one of the 3 male students, but a job placement wouldn't let him take the children in to the washroom alone. Just because he was a male. Right now there is a male student at the day care and he was placed with Joe. This student is not up the standard and will fail this placement. Alot of people think that just because he works at a day care he is gay, but he had a lot of fun in collage (shall we say) and now is happily married with a couple of kids. I hope to work with him again. Name: Email: Subject
