- Summary:
-
This study used data from a national survey of homosexual and bisexual public school teachers to explore differences among participants in rural, suburban, and urban schools. A survey was sent to 1,350 participants through national, state, and urban based gay teacher organizations. Of those sampled, 904 responded. Findings included the following: (1) 15 percent of the sample population described themselves as teaching in rural school districts, and nearly 60 percent of these rural teachers were lesbians; (2) both rural and urban teachers demonstrated similar concerns and dissatisfaction regarding pay, isolation, and other work factors; (3) rural teachers were significantly more satisfied with working conditions than either urban or suburban teachers; (4) gay suburban and rural teachers were significantly more stressed and less open than urban teachers about their sexual orientation; (5) rural teachers indicated a higher rate of depersonalization from their students, a higher level of emotional exhaustion, and a lowered sense of personal accomplishment from teaching than either urban or suburban teachers; (6) rural and suburban teachers were significantly less open, more fearful of exposure, less accepting of their identities, and different in their overall sense of identity than urban teachers; and (7) rural teachers have experienced the highest rate of deaths related to acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
