That is exactly what I was thinking. Not entirely sure what the single parent rate is in Singapore but in the U.S. their are a lot of single mothers and you, at least I can, tell a difference between a child with a male role model in their life and one's without one.
My son was crying a lot in his playgroup until a male teacher came in and would play with him like a 'boy'. My child loves him so much he would stop crying at his presence. I think males are capable to be in childhood industry. So don't give up!

It speaks to his character that he's willing to self-impose these unfair rules on himself just for the sake of the parents' comfortability. Remarkable guy. Society needs to be aligned on an axis where hyper-competent and uncommonly compassionate people like Mr. Tay are richly rewarded.
I have a friend who was a teacher. He said parents always had issues with him being around kids, and he said it hurt him a lot. He had to quit eventually, and I felt really bad when he said this. He is one of the sweetest guys I know, and people accusing him of that.... Really upsetting!
All the male teachers I've had were the even better than the females and have inspired my passion to become an educator. I hope I don't have to deal with this mess once I finish college.
It’s such a shame that men in general in society get painted as sex offenders immediately. It’s because so many men are. It’s just not fare to all of the good men in the world. My dream for the future is that all people can recognize that men, women, children, chicanos, blacks, whites, Asians, every person of every type can have the potential to be an amazing person and everyone has struggles they must overcome. I’ve been on the internet just as much as the next person and I've seen every kind of hate and stigma online. What we need to do as a society is rise above it. Recognize that no one ethnicity, race, religious sect, etc. is better than the others, because we’re all human and I believe that all humans are flawed in some way and that’s ok. The question we need to ask ourselves (and the question I’ve been asking myself recently) is how can we all make the world a little less gloomy, dark, miserable ( because god knows the world is on fire!!) This man is an inspiration to us all to fight the machines of modern times that divide us. The machines that are stigma, preconceptions, misconceptions, and more. Ask yourself today what you can do to make the world better for us all.
Sometimes, Lorbert addresses the kids as “Mr” and “Ms” so and so. He believes it makes them feel more important and puts them in a good mood for the rest of the day.
@@recnews2003 I’ve never had a male teacher before lol I swear there were only like 5 to 7 male teachers throughout my whole primary school experience and there are about 60 teachers
This is a fantastic example of how sexism hurts men and women. Women and girls are taught from a very young age to fear men, either from direct experience of being hurt by men or being warned to death by other people to fear men. That’s why so many women may not trust their children around grown men. For men, this is very hurtful, because they cannot express physical affection, love and kindness, even if they want to. Even if it’s the human thing to do. They are locked in a box of masculinity that tells them not to cry, not to have feelings, not to complain, etc.… This was a very powerful video. Continue the great work!
It’s sad for both ends, but especially sad when the males criticize us females for “sex discrimination” just because we want to protect ourselves. If we’re strangers the weaker female can’t take chances trusting a guy. Hell knows what could happen.
@@anniethebean101 From a young age though it was put in my head and a lot of others heads to not be around grown men as a little girl. Of course this applies to all strangers but especially grown men seeing as my parents never had me babysat by a man, and i was told to be extra careful around them. Children, little girls especially, are taught to fear or keep their distance from grown men and its very sad to see
Actually the rate of crimes against women children has increased so much that people don't trust anyone easily now. Because you never know what is the actual face of the person. There are many people who on the outside may look like a great person but actually commit crimes that cannot be forgiven. When the news about a child falling prey to some sort of phedoplile comes out naturally other parents start fearing for their own children, wishing that their child won't face the same, get more protective, distrust every male. And in these the genuinely nice and good people suffer. There are some, like this man who are really very very good at heart and doing something because of their own passion but they have to battle distrust and judgements of everyone and these is only because of some criminals.
The fact that this video needs to exist is disappointing. We shouldn’t have to call “male pre-school teachers” as such- they’re just pre-school teachers, and they deserve the same respect as pre-school teachers who are female
Even if it's copied anyways, what gigantic, colossal problem does it make that a person's comment is similar to another's? This isn't something to pout over!

I’m also a male preschool teacher. I was in China when I started and response was exactly opposite there. Back in the USA very similar to this guy. But I work with my wife - so it’s slightly easier for people to accept me. Sorry you couldn’t have kids. My wife and I got my one son, but health complications made it impossible for us to have more. Working with kiddos is wonderful. Applaud you bro! I’ve been a surrogate dad to many kids over the past decade. It’s an honor.

same, I've always a detached with my father because he was never around or reached out to us, would've been great if I had a father figure that I felt I could trust
I understand his feelings. I'm a woman but I work as an English teacher in Japan. As an African American, there are a lot of stigmas and many parents were nervous about me. They were used to seeing white Americans. So I must watch myself more than a Japanese or Caucasian teacher would. It can be difficult when all you want to do is protect and care for the children.
I was looking into teaching English in Asia after graduating, but I actually had reservations - mainly because of the culture shock and minority status. I hadn't really considered this side (parents' opinions). How long have you been teaching and how have things changed over the years?
I’m African American and I work in shanghai. That stigma is changing because parents aren’t looking for a pale face any more they are looking for a passionate and caring person. There are many companies with many centers that need English teachers in China. They are so desperate for teachers they are hiring non native speakers from Russian, Middle East, Latin America, etc. There is a Russian teacher at a nearby center. She is gorgeous but she lacks personality that is needed for a teacher.
@@beulaho This is my second year. The parents attitudes are changing little by little. It helps that I speak Japanese so I communicate better with them. I'm just trying to give 100% to show I care for their education as well as their well being. Having meetings are also good to help them understand you and you understand them as well.
elfie simmer Well thank you. You can’t do that if you’re going to be going overseas. Especially if you’re going to a homogenous country like Japan. It’s just very difficult having to fight stereotypes that have been implanted in society. Some people in Japan can be very blunt and literally ask you why are you black? They don’t even realize it’s offensive. I’m American and their stereotype of Americans are white and blonde. So some don’t even believe me when I say I’m from America. But then you do you have those who understand that the media and entertainment aren’t reality. You just be yourself and your positive impact will slowly change peoples minds. Rome was not built in a day LOL!
Ok so I can understand thinking weird of a male gynecologist but a teacher??? No...that it's too much... Men are fathers also and can be very kind and understanding...
why would you think weird of a male gynecologist? Do you really think a creep would spend so much time, money and effort on med school to look at vaginas? lmao, majority of gynecologists are men anyway
@@arshg8685 yeah because they are in their early twenties (still immature thinking) when they study medicine and seriously out of so many fields of practice they choose gynecology...and perhaps SOME of them don't choose this field for weird reasons but many of them do... And not all countries have ridiculous university pricing like USA, some countries provide free education for their students, i know because I come from such a country.
@@arshg8685 I wish I lived in a world where I could believe this. Obviously most male gynecologists are not creeps and are just doctors, but unfortunately yes, some creeps WILL spend that much time and money to be able to have vulnerable women around them all day. A lot of abusers take jobs where they are around vulnerable people.
@The legendary procrastinator mothers usually are the primary caretakers of the kids so isn't it obvious that they will lose their temper and do more damage than fathers who might spend an hour with their kid.
@The legendary procrastinator who said its an excuse? My hypothesis is that if men spent as much time with children as women they world abuse them more. You don't need religion to know that you shouldn't abuse children lol
It's not just a fake stereotype, ofc I do agree that people need to not be judged so quickly based on their gender, but I had a man follow me and try to kidnap me when I was 9 (I called my mom and just ran into a store) but I just cannot trust anyone anymore and the trauma is still there
@@TheLord-ALTERLEMOffical the media are very much not turning this against him are they? No they are supporting and unlike when women get stereotyped and complain the "boys" always seem to make it about themselves. I have not seen a single comment about how women have it harder have I? So shut that little mouth and stop trying to play like a victim when nothing like that even happens to you, the media helps people who need it, not someone like you who acts like it affects them as much as the actual victim :)
I believe the world needs to have more positive male adult role models for children - especially at this age. So much negativity about men and men as dads that it just sickens me.
@@porgiepugson4489 It wasn't an exclusive statement... Too often men get dragged through the mud in media when portrayed in positions that are "typically for women". I highly reject this to a degree. There are some jobs and responsibilities that only members of one sex are morally and inherently permitted to do, but there are other jobs that either can do.
Age is just taken too seriously. Remove that stigma and everything will open up in a positive way. No more moody teenagers being rude to their parents because “they’re old”
I had a math teacher in high school. And he was also cautious about hugging us when we were sad/having a bad time for the same reasons of boundaries (especially us female students) so he bought a stuffed owl named BooHoo that we could hug/cuddle with at our desks if we were having a bad day and needed a hug.
Then you are a sane and reasonable individual. Males and females are equally capable of causing harm to others. Just like they are both capable of changing the life of a child for the better. Perceptions are a bitch.

I hope that one day, one or some of his kids here grow up, and revisit him and give him a good, tight hug, and express their gratitude towards him that he has been a father-figure for them and has played a great role in their respective successes. It will be the best day of this man's life. Trust me.

@@PrincessAshley12 parents tend to be careful due to worry of their children maybe being abused.. I totally get parents and I would be careful myself as well.. even though I've been working in preschools as a male...or if I became a male teacher. I get parents so much that I'm super down when the teachers don't give me the task to change diapers and such.. male staff also are careful in case of lawsuit or being accused of doing abuse etc.
@@PrincessAshley12 yea, I guess it's this intense in Singapore... but not so much in U.S.A. I've met 2 male teachers already from two different cities and they are respected. Male teachers are encouraged and are needed here in the U.S because the male role model is needed for children who may not have it at home... and also, I get parents even when im a male... they have all the right to be careful because sexual abuse does happen and it will ruin a life for a lifetime. So intense care is needed.. In any case, I'd say as long as male teachers are employed then there's no problem. It is sad in this classroom though how the teacher can't even hug his students.. but it makes sense too.. keeping it professional more than teachers being so attached.. I guess ethical boundaries. So yea :)
When he started talking about his wife's cancer 💔 He was so visibly holding back his tears 💔 The fact that one could go through so much and still crack smiles is so fascinating 😍 The relationship he has with these adorable little kids is so stinking cute 💖 It disgusts me that people criticise him , it's also sad that because of the crows , the white pigeons have to suffer. So sad , makes me lose faith in humanity.. Until people like him restore it for me 🙂😁💖
I was in a all girls highschool. Many teachers were middle aged men too. They were more like uncle like figures than anything 😂. Edit: maybe not middle aged. A bit older than that.
Kami No Yami Okay great, but if he’s a pre-school teacher that has devoted his life to children, he should be able to interact with him the same way women do.
its good that he is restricted in certain ways his female colleagues are not. Men are not as encouraged to become pre-school teachers as women in our society. So it is suspicious that a man would want to be pre-school teacher. What would be his motives other than dirty pedophilic fantasies?
@@benisjamin6583 Feminism is a completely different concept, it is about closing the gap between genders so things like male pre-school teachers and female firefighters can be normalised.
deborah DeborahR the best teachers are in pre school ... they are just like 2nd parents and very emotionally involved with young tender souls .. Thanku maam for ure services .. though I might not have been your student I appreciate the time u worked in nourishing young lives .. 😊🌷🌷
im a male teacher teaching at a primary school. i also feel his pain about being close with the kids but not too close. a lot of the kids i teach hardly see their dads and i end up being like a substitute. parents look for me for advice even though im not married or have children but i have ten years experience teaching kids. on the whole touching kids too is the same for me. the kids come to me but i never go to them. when they change i look away or say i dont care about them naked or say hurry and get dressed. certaih kids are very touchy but some kids are not. but i have the same rule, never touch the kids or especially be in a room alone with a kid to not get any suspicion. im proud to see a teacher like this guy
Also an elementary teacher. My rule is that I will never ask/offer a child a hug, but if they ask for one then I will give it. My reasoning is that I have no idea why that child feels they need a hug (they may never get hugs at home, they may be having a particularly bad day, one of their loved ones may have recently passed away, etc.) and I won't let bullshit perceptions keep me from helping that child.
i can feel his warmth and sincerity. i want to be a teacher to very small kids one day. it is at that age one can have a strong impact on how they are going to live their lives in the long run.
Very truee... Being a teacher is like parenting other people’s kids.. My mom is a teacher and I can see how much she cares about her students (makes me jealous sometimes 😂), while some of the parents don’t even care at all..
Another teacher here(but primary) I felt you when you said 'My emotional bank outweighs my monetary bank' Thank you for speaking for most of us teachers. Love from India
The man that is most deserving to be a father can't have children of his own?? That was one of the saddest things I've ever heard 😢 But it makes me just as happy to see him be in an occupation that fulfills his father figure dreams
I’ve always had trouble with female teachers all through my school years but I’ve had 4 male teachers who I connected so easily with and they made school so much better for me , they were the sweetest and the most caring teachers I’ve met
Over here the male teachers are usually more chill, fun and laid back compared to the female teachers. One reason why my high school life was good was because it was 50-50 men and women teaching my class. So we had a good balance of fun and work.
Maybe it's partly due to the fact that males have to deal w/ the negative stigma, so you know that the ones who decide to deal w/ the suspicions, rumours about them, and maybe potential harrassment, probably have to be quite motivated about the job
This was truly moving, and an eye opener. Being a HR Assistant involved in the hiring process of Teacher's and the like, im proud to say I consider every applicant equally, regardless of sex, age or religion. I hope this video breaks the stigma. God Bless this Teacher, his wife, and his students! Great job!
People knew something wrong with their connections with other men, Admitting male can also do sensitive and caring jobs would invoke all problems to come to the surface, (Like lack of communication, intimate interactions, emotional exchange, etc) So they would better avoid that
It's really encouraged in the U.S. ..at least with my experience while being in community college and university.. teachers, directors, and professors always encouraged me back then T.T and I was always grateful.. It's press upon how there are children who may not have the male role model at home, so males are encouraged to try the career or are welcome.. which is a beautiful thing and a great purpose to have when thinking of a career..unfortunately though.. being a preschool teacher or teacher in California may not be appealing also due to financial stability or security.. LA rent can be really expensive... so yea..
It's funny, when it comes to teachers at least here in the US, there are far far more scandals with female teachers then the male ones! So many predatory women in the industry, especially in middle school,jr high and high school.
@@hoodieboy1515 Not in American elementary and middle schools though. Parents have openly admitted that they personally don't feel comfortable letting the little ones alone with a male figure that's not their father.
It's heartbreaking to see either male or females being discriminated against because of sexism. This man is so sweet and I'm so proud of him for fighting the stigma.
the best teacher i had in my school career was a man. super caring and made class fun. men shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to prove they can be good instructors.
Devon Alyse i completely agree I must say most of the teachers that have made in impact in my life were my male teachers encouraging us to be better , and believing in us.
i saved this video in my playlist. every once in a while, i come back to see it, because it always puts a big smile on my face. what an amazing human being
I hope there will be more teachers like him, who actually has a passion for his job and cares about his students. I hope to be a teacher when I grow up, and I hope I can become a teacher like him.
I remember I had a male teacher back in nursary and I'm 17 now that was 11 years ago and to this day he's still my favourite teacher. I still think I got alot of my personality traits from him.
Omg those kids calling him papa are soooooo adorable. That shows how much a good job he did on taking care of those kids. They trust him fully with their hearts
He has to be the greatest man, husband, teacher on the planet. How special he is to the world. God bless you sir... shakita from America, in California.
He's just the sweetest guy :) He's so brave, too, for risking this... despite all the bias and prejudice, he still chose to do what he wanted to do with his life. Respect.
I'm obsessed with this dude just from watching the video. You can feel his compassion and love for the kids despite all the obstacles he has to jump through. So important to have many educators like him!
From Malaysia here and I'm male preschool teacher. Watching this video really touch my heart my and make me proud of our profession . Who said male cannot teach preschool? We are going to be a father one day 😘
I had a great primary school principal just like him. The principal would tell us stories and fables every morning. The stories were meaningful but more than that it showed that he cared because he went the extra mile. At the same time he was firm towards all the teachers - he would walk along the corridors during lessons and listen to ensure lessons were taught properly.
It’s so adorable seeing some of the kids call him “papa”. It just goes to show how important he is in their lives that they see him as a father.

I have a friend who was a teacher. He said parents always had issues with him being around kids, and he said it hurt him a lot. He had to quit eventually, and I felt really bad when he said this. He is one of the sweetest guys I know, and people accusing him of that.... Really upsetting!
All the male teachers I've had were the even better than the females and have inspired my passion to become an educator. I hope I don't have to deal with this mess once I finish college.

It’s such a shame that men in general in society get painted as sex offenders immediately. It’s because so many men are. It’s just not fare to all of the good men in the world.
My dream for the future is that all people can recognize that men, women, children, chicanos, blacks, whites, Asians, every person of every type can have the potential to be an amazing person and everyone has struggles they must overcome. I’ve been on the internet just as much as the next person and I've seen every kind of hate and stigma online. What we need to do as a society is rise above it. Recognize that no one ethnicity, race, religious sect, etc. is better than the others, because we’re all human and I believe that all humans are flawed in some way and that’s ok. The question we need to ask ourselves (and the question I’ve been asking myself recently) is how can we all make the world a little less gloomy, dark, miserable ( because god knows the world is on fire!!) This man is an inspiration to us all to fight the machines of modern times that divide us. The machines that are stigma, preconceptions, misconceptions, and more. Ask yourself today what you can do to make the world better for us all.

This is a fantastic example of how sexism hurts men and women. Women and girls are taught from a very young age to fear men, either from direct experience of being hurt by men or being warned to death by other people to fear men.
That’s why so many women may not trust their children around grown men. For men, this is very hurtful, because they cannot express physical affection, love and kindness, even if they want to. Even if it’s the human thing to do. They are locked in a box of masculinity that tells them not to cry, not to have feelings, not to complain, etc.…
This was a very powerful video. Continue the great work!
Rubínky S.R.O Ok but who in their right mind would just... trust a lion, of all things?
E.L.F !¡ many videos of tourists in the safari being stupid hahaha
It’s sad for both ends, but especially sad when the males criticize us females for “sex discrimination” just because we want to protect ourselves. If we’re strangers the weaker female can’t take chances trusting a guy. Hell knows what could happen.
@@anniethebean101 From a young age though it was put in my head and a lot of others heads to not be around grown men as a little girl. Of course this applies to all strangers but especially grown men seeing as my parents never had me babysat by a man, and i was told to be extra careful around them. Children, little girls especially, are taught to fear or keep their distance from grown men and its very sad to see
Actually the rate of crimes against women children has increased so much that people don't trust anyone easily now. Because you never know what is the actual face of the person. There are many people who on the outside may look like a great person but actually commit crimes that cannot be forgiven. When the news about a child falling prey to some sort of phedoplile comes out naturally other parents start fearing for their own children, wishing that their child won't face the same, get more protective, distrust every male. And in these the genuinely nice and good people suffer. There are some, like this man who are really very very good at heart and doing something because of their own passion but they have to battle distrust and judgements of everyone and these is only because of some criminals.

I remember an aging man in 1987 and 1988 at pre-school who gave the children flying fox rides. They called him 'grandpa'.
I understand his feelings. I'm a woman but I work as an English teacher in Japan. As an African American, there are a lot of stigmas and many parents were nervous about me. They were used to seeing white Americans. So I must watch myself more than a Japanese or Caucasian teacher would. It can be difficult when all you want to do is protect and care for the children.
I was looking into teaching English in Asia after graduating, but I actually had reservations - mainly because of the culture shock and minority status. I hadn't really considered this side (parents' opinions). How long have you been teaching and how have things changed over the years?
I’m African American and I work in shanghai. That stigma is changing because parents aren’t looking for a pale face any more they are looking for a passionate and caring person.
There are many companies with many centers that need English teachers in China. They are so desperate for teachers they are hiring non native speakers from Russian, Middle East, Latin America, etc.
There is a Russian teacher at a nearby center. She is gorgeous but she lacks personality that is needed for a teacher.
@@beulaho This is my second year. The parents attitudes are changing little by little. It helps that I speak Japanese so I communicate better with them. I'm just trying to give 100% to show I care for their education as well as their well being. Having meetings are also good to help them understand you and you understand them as well.
elfie simmer Well thank you. You can’t do that if you’re going to be going overseas. Especially if you’re going to a homogenous country like Japan. It’s just very difficult having to fight stereotypes that have been implanted in society. Some people in Japan can be very blunt and literally ask you why are you black? They don’t even realize it’s offensive. I’m American and their stereotype of Americans are white and blonde. So some don’t even believe me when I say I’m from America. But then you do you have those who understand that the media and entertainment aren’t reality. You just be yourself and your positive impact will slowly change peoples minds.

im a male teacher teaching at a primary school. i also feel his pain about being close with the kids but not too close. a lot of the kids i teach hardly see their dads and i end up being like a substitute. parents look for me for advice even though im not married or have children but i have ten years experience teaching kids. on the whole touching kids too is the same for me. the kids come to me but i never go to them. when they change i look away or say i dont care about them naked or say hurry and get dressed. certaih kids are very touchy but some kids are not. but i have the same rule, never touch the kids or especially be in a room alone with a kid to not get any suspicion. im proud to see a teacher like this guy
Also an elementary teacher. My rule is that I will never ask/offer a child a hug, but if they ask for one then I will give it. My reasoning is that I have no idea why that child feels they need a hug (they may never get hugs at home, they may be having a particularly bad day, one of their loved ones may have recently passed away, etc.) and I won't let bullshit perceptions keep me from helping that child.
Having a teacher like that will be a life changer for this students. God bless him.

Lmao I love that "ReeeeEALLY?". 😂😂😂
Oh, the wonderful imagination of little tykes. Makes the heart swell. ♡

It's heartbreaking to see either male or females being discriminated against because of sexism. This man is so sweet and I'm so proud of him for fighting the stigma.
the best teacher i had in my school career was a man. super caring and made class fun. men shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to prove they can be good instructors.
Devon Alyse i completely agree I must say most of the teachers that have made in impact in my life were my male teachers encouraging us to be better , and believing in us.
Teacher: You want to flood the whole school???
Child: Yeah! So we can go swimming!
Lmfao
RRREEEEAAAALLLLLYYY

i saved this video in my playlist. every once in a while, i come back to see it, because it always puts a big smile on my face. what an amazing human being
I hope there will be more teachers like him, who actually has a passion for his job and cares about his students. I hope to be a teacher when I grow up, and I hope I can become a teacher like him.
Right? I'm an adult and he makes me want to rethink my career decision.
I remember I had a male teacher back in nursary and I'm 17 now that was 11 years ago and to this day he's still my favourite teacher. I still think I got alot of my personality traits from him.
Omg those kids calling him papa are soooooo adorable. That shows how much a good job he did on taking care of those kids. They trust him fully with their hearts
He seems like such a kind and loving person. I've always admired men who love children and love making them happy. ❤
He has to be the greatest man, husband, teacher on the planet. How special he is to the world. God bless you sir... shakita from America, in California.
Not the greatest on the planets but ok
He's just the sweetest guy :)
He's so brave, too, for risking this... despite all the bias and prejudice, he still chose to do what he wanted to do with his life. Respect.
I’m a Pre-k teacher here in North an Quebec of Canada 🇨🇦, seeing this video makes me feel so proud!! 😁
Thank you!
Love from Singapore
keep it up my guy.
Almost teared up when he mentioned his wife had uterus cancer.
Perfect match to heal each other emotionally. Children need papa figure, teacher provide his real love for children.
Lobert sounds like a singaporean auntie trying to say robert
Hahahha that's funny!
Well his real name was Robert but he changed it to Lorbert bcs ppl find its hard to pronounce that way
spot on HAHAHAH
*singaporean chinese auntie haha
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm obsessed with this dude just from watching the video. You can feel his compassion and love for the kids despite all the obstacles he has to jump through. So important to have many educators like him!
"Mummies don't have firmness"
*My asian mom when i get an a+ 10/10 perfect: WHY YU GET ONLY THAT? GET A+++. MORE PLUSSES*
Damm that’s relatable
@Kzaxrtij Skather Exaggeration is part of humor, even if this joke in particular is overused and semi-misleading.
That's not firmness tho.
Atleast you got an a+ . I can only get a's
@@Gwapo semi misleading?
It's so heartwarming to see how the kids actually automatically see him as a father figure. A testament to his genuine care and attention.
That is soo sad, he wanted his own children but can't....but is surrounded with kids almost everyday.
From Malaysia here and I'm male preschool teacher. Watching this video really touch my heart my and make me proud of our profession
.
Who said male cannot teach preschool? We are going to be a father one day 😘
I can see that this male teacher probably is more passionate and loving than most female teacher.
“Every small thing, even like a scratch, a mosquito bite, it’s my fault.”
All the preschool teachers can relate.😂😂😂
I had a great primary school principal just like him. The principal would tell us stories and fables every morning. The stories were meaningful but more than that it showed that he cared because he went the extra mile. At the same time he was firm towards all the teachers - he would walk along the corridors during lessons and listen to ensure lessons were taught properly.
I'm 22 and also a male preschool teacher. 🙌🏼❤😇
