As a classroom teacher, I used to teach the children in my classes that there were three barriers in society which one did not easily cross: age, gender, and rank. While I might behave casually with other men on staff, I would not do so with children or seniors, the women teachers, the principal, or parents. Those served well for children to learn when to have on their very best behaviours.
