Has anyone asked recently whether it is a good thing or not that boys seldom encounter male teachers until they get to high school? Add this to the fact that men are rarities in some black communities.

No need to ask that question...the results are apparent. Schools were primarily staffed by Male teachers until WW2. Now I'm sure it is down to 15% male. The lack of male influence on kids is devestating (to both males and females). I'm pleased though that this article brings some balance and truth to this subject.
