The Hidden Curriculum may reinforce traditional gender roles in the following ways.
In First and Middle Schools the fact that the vast majority of teachers are women may help to reinforce the children's impression that it is women who are especially suited to looking after and teaching young teaching although this may also have had the effect of encouraging girls relative to boys with their reading skills.
In Mixed secondary schools men are over-represented and women under-represented on the higher teaching scales and women are more often employed in positions which are seen as subordinate seen in subordinate such as dinner ladies and school cleaners
It has been argued that in the past many teachers supported traditional gender roles and that they were likely to praise girls and boys for so-called "feminine" and " masculine" qualities respectively .
Girls and boys might be asked to help around the school in gender specific ways for example as when boys move furniture and girls serve coffee at parents'' evenings.
Differences in boys and girls school uniform rules could be seen as emphasising gender differences. For many years girls have not been allowed to wear trousers to school although they are perhaps more comfortable than skirts/dresses in a school environment.
Although this point is perhaps on the margin between the Formal curriculum and the Hidden Curriculum boys and girls may have been encouraged to opt for gender specific subjects and may have been given gender specific career advice. Thus girls were encouraged towards Arts and Humanities and Domestic Science and away from sciences other than biology and away from woodwork and metalwork while boys were encouraged especially to opt for science, technology, metal work and woodwork..
There is evidence that some male teachers may flirt with older female pupils and also that they may sometimes identify with "laddish" behaviour thereby reinforcing gender stereotypes.
