Most children go through elementary school under the charge of few if any male teachers, and local educators don't like it.
Historically, the number of female schoolteachers has overshadowed the number of male schoolteachers. In fact, the numbers aren't even close.
The National Education Association says the population of male teachers nationwide has been shrinking for decades. Roughly 21 percent of the country's 3 million teachers are male, according to a 2004 NEA report.
