Peter De Pratto is a white, middle-class man. And he's a minority.
The 54-year-old is a Grade 2 teacher at St. Luke School in Waterloo. He has been teaching for 31 years and has taught junior kindergarten to Grade 8.
"I enjoy working with younger children. I find it challenging and rewarding at the same time," he said.
As a male primary school teacher, he knows he stands out. He has been the only man on staff at times. It doesn't really bother him.
