There's only one male teacher at Massillon's Whittier School near Canton, something experts say is part of national trend.
According to the National Education Association, the number of male teachers in the U.S. is at an all time low...and sinking.
Nationwide, only 1 in 4 teachers is a man, and at the elementary level, its just 1 in 10.
The problem is particularly pronounced in Stark County. Dan Nero, director of elementary instruction for Canton City Schools says he looks for male teachers because some homes lack strong male figures.
