They're rare. And even if you do, you'll often still be slighted. You'll have to learn to grow around it. It gives you a certain amount of freedom, but you have to be active, else you'll be stuck playing a shaker and everyone else in your section will be sitting down throughout your concert.
My fifth grade homeroom teacher was my first male teacher. Combine this with a fledgling sexual awakening, and it made for a bunch of uncomfortable thoughts, most of which were based on my own imagination and insecurities. The rest of our class hated him because he was so unreasonably strict, but now, thinking back, he was a pretty good teacher, and despite my adolescent anxieties, I like him xD
