According to my wife too endangered. She thinks more kids need the male influence in the early childhood stage of eduction.
He you described me except I'm not short and "teach" at a much later and less stressful stage, of the education process. One of our 2nd. year med. students came up to me at the first of last term and asked me if I was Mrs. X's husband. He had her in Kindergarten. Made me feel real old because even I still remember her talking about him (fondly). Unlike her I can't recognize the faces of a 5 y/o in an adult much less remember names. It always amazes me how ya'll effect kids so much that they will stop you on the street to say hello and be remembered. Even with our Grad.Students we don't have that kind of interaction in most cases.
