DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL PROBLEMS CONFRONTING FEMALE TEACHERS IN A RECEPTION AND REHABILITATION CENTER FOR YOUNG GIRLS.

Abstract

THOUGH THEY WERE TAKING SPECIALIZED EDUCATION COURSES ON THE COLLEGE LEVEL, THOSE COURSES WERE ORIENTED TOWARD THE PROBLEMS OF MALE JUVENILE DELINQUENTS. HENCE, THEY WERE OFTEN AT A LOSS WITH YOUNG GIRL DELINQUENTS. ALSO, THEY WERE MOSTLY NOT MUCH OLDER THAN THE FEMALE DELINQUENTS, AND SO DID NOT HAVE A SUFFICIENTLY DETACHED ATTITUDE TOWARD THEM. FURTHERMORE, BECAUSE OF SEX DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THEM, THEY FOUND IT HARD TO TEACH INDEPENDENCE AND PRIDE IN BEING A WOMAN TO THE FEMALE DELINQUENTS. --IN FRENCH
