In the US nly abut 3% f early childhd teachers are male. Experts say this may have a great influence n yung children whse understanding f gender rles and identity is rapidly frming. Research has fund that getting access t different teachers is beneficial fr children. This means the yungest learners are mre likely t be expsed t a wide variety f games and cmmunicatin.

“In ur sciety and wrld, we tend t have very specific steretypes ( 刻 板 印 象 ) f gender rles,” said Mindi Reich-Shapir, an assistant prfessr in the Brugh f Manhattan Cmmunity Cllege, and ne f the authrs f a recent study. “It’s necessary fr the kids t see ther pssibilities and paths they can chse.”
Althugh they largely felt supprted by clleagues and families, many male teachers surveyed stated that in their career as early educatin teachers they did face scial and cultural resistance. Sme even nted that the parents were surprised r cncerned when they fund a male teacher with their kids. Mrever, the male teachers were smetimes advised nt t hug children.
Reich-Shapir and ther researchers have made sme suggestins t increase the number f male early educatin teachers. Lw wages have lng been cnsidered as a majr prblem in this field. Mre than 70% f male teachers said they intended t stay in the early educatin wrkfrce, and pinted ut that the majr mtivatr fr their cmmitment t their lng-term career was an increased salary, Thus, the reprt recmmended that all preschl educatrs be paid as much as the primary schl teachers. The gvernment shuld establish supprt grups and prvide guidance and prfessinal advice fr male early educatin educatrs.

Accrding t a study published this week, habitual napping (打盹) appears t be assciated with a large brain vlume in adults althugh experts stressed that further research was needed. It reduces the cst caused frm the lst time and the fatigue-related errrs. The wrk fllwed previus studies that suggested a brief dze culd imprve peple’s ability t learn.
Arianna Huffingtn, a c-funder f HufPst and the funder and chief executive f Thrive Glbal, said, “Given the latest science n the effectiveness f napping and the clear link between emplyees feeling well rested and their prductivity, it’s lng past time that businesses embrace shrt naps at wrk.”
Sme businesses, including Thrive Glbal, have already intrduced facilities fr emplyees t take naps. Ggle intrduced sleep pds as far back as 2014 and cmpanies like Nike and Ben & Jerry’s intrduced nap rms. The practice has even been adpted by the NHS, with a grwing number f hspitals intrducing sleep pds fr staff in an effrt t help them get mre rest. Emplyees, it seems, are enthusiastic. Sean Greenwd, f Ben & Jerry’s, said, “If a quick nap gets emplyees mre invlved and creative, we’re happy t prvide that fr ur team members.”
Unfrtunately, the practice f napping still suffers frm ur cllective cncept that sleep equals weakness and laziness. Hwever, the perfrmance-enhancing benefits f naps have been n secret t many leaders thrughut histry. It als gives the higher-ups the chance t acknwledge the 24/7 culture and cme up with tp-dwn slutin that encurage wrkers t takecare f themselves in and ut f wrk.
While sleep experts stressed that a daytime dze culd be beneficial, they said it was crucial t get enugh shut-eye at the end f a day. It is the late stage f sleep, smetimes missed by early risers,that strengthens the nerve circuits that make fr learning and memry, allwing the brain t make and cnslidate new neutral cnnectins. Additinally, priritizing sufficient sleep during the regular nightly sleep perid is essential fr verall well-being.

It was cl and bright and just right fr running. I was in the first few miles f a 10-mile race thrugh sme hills. Birds were singing n the trees. The sft wind was brushing my cheeks. I felt rested and springy. Despite the hills, I thught it was ging t be a fine run.
Ahead was Blake, a student frm Burke High Schl. He was running easily, t, mving alng efficiently. The pace felt cmfrtable, s I decided t stay where he was; why bther cncentrating n pace when Blake was such a nice pacesetter fr me? I wuld vertake Blake later n when he used up energy.
S I ran clsely behind him. The curse headed nrth fr five miles, wandered west fr a mile, and then turned suth again. The race was getting tugher. With three miles t g, it was beginning t be real hard wrk. My lungs were n fire, and legs felt like stne.
Blake vertk the by in frnt f him. Apparently he knew the by, fr they exchanged a few wrds. Their brief cmmunicatin wrried me. Runners dn't chat during a race unless they feel really gd,, and Blake plainly was. There was still a nticeable bunce in his steps, but the springiness I had nce pssessed was gne.
Still, I was clse enugh t vertake Blake if he was tired, s I didn't give up hpe cmpletely. We were appraching a hill, a mile frm the finish line, s whatever happened n the hill wuld almst certainly determine wh crssed it first.
As I mved up the hill, my attentin wandered fr a few minutes. When I lked up, Blake was mving away, first five yards, then ten, then mre. There was n hpe f catching Blake.
