[Secret Agent Man]

They’ve kicked out a lot of good male teachers. When I was in school there were a lot of male teachers still, great role models for my science and math and journalism classes. Even our orchestra leader was a good guy.

But less and less good men teaching in the classroom has a huge impact on young boys and men.

I would be scared to go into the profession. If you don't give Suzie an "A" she knows all she has to do is say "Mr. Smith looked up my skirt/touched me there!" and his career is over. Also, as a product of the public schools, they just don't push teaching degrees to males like they do females. And of course, 95% of all male teachers at my school doubled as the Football coach/baseball coach, whatever. The history class they are supposed to teach was always secondary.

Also, I know a few guys that have teaching degrees that cannot find a job, they tell me they always prefer the females. Sorry for my rants, I have a huge problem with the public schools and they are a sore subject with me.
