The problem is that there are only 1% of men employed as Teaching Assistants in primary schools. Everyone knows that there are a shortage of male role models, yet the schools seem to ignore this and prefer to employ women. I've had loads of interviews which I have done well in, I put in really good, professional applications, I even hold a relevant degree, but I always seem to get turned down. I am pretty sure that if I was female I would have been given the job.
