Title
Understanding the Role of Male Elementary School Teachers in the Social Development of Children Raised by Single Mothers in the Jewish Community of Montreal, Canada
Abstract
A phenomenological study exploring the role male elementary school teachers have in the social development of children raised by single mothers in the Jewish community of Montreal. The author explores the experiences of eleven individuals from the Montreal Jewish community, as well as his own narrative perspective. He offers insight on an emerging issue of the role male teachers have in the social development of children growing up in the absence of a supportive father. His study explores educational issues and the role teachers play in the lives of children. It explores sociological issues of child development, family structure, the increasing rate of separation and divorce, and their effects on children. The author adds a different perspective as he explores how an increase in male elementary school teachers can have a positive influence in the social development of children, and especially boys, in our society.
