Calling teachers “Sir” or
“Miss” is depressing, sexist and gives women in schools a lower status than
their male counterparts, an academic has said.
Prof Jennifer Coates told
the Times Educational Supplement “Sir is a knight... but Miss is ridiculous -
it doesn’t match Sir at all”.
She said she had been
struck by the disparity while volunteering in a secondary school.
When idiots like Prof
Coates come out with nonsense like this why are they given the time of day? Why
can’t they just be ignored?
Despite calling teachers
Sir and Miss being a practice that has been widely used and accepted for many
years now all of a sudden Prof Coates has an issue with it.
It’s sad and pathetic.
