If a female student had a male para-pro both parents and other female para-pros said they would not be comfortable with it. It makes everyone think, why is he doing this job? Having a young female student and a male para-pro brings up issues that people think about. While it is not right to assume these things, parents and the schools don’t want to take the chance.

Some people don’t think twice about a male student and a female para-pro, but why do we think twice with men? We start to stereotype men again; we need to give them a chance at this job. School boards aren’t discouraging men to apply for this, but they could do more to change people’s mind on whom this job is really
