More men wanted in elementary teaching - 10 male teachers in Illinois say more may teach if pay increased

The field of early childhood and elementary education usually displays a face of a woman, not of a man.

Men who choose to start a career in teaching sometimes find themselves the only ones in a school who conduct a class.

Daniel Carter, professor of education, said the field of education is dealing with a limited supply of men who have the personality to work with children.

"As a male teacher, our style, mannerisms are different," he said. "Our uniqueness is what motivates children."
