As many of you know from my previous postings, I’m a regular reader of Sam de Brito’s All Men Are Liars blog. In de Brito’s most recent entry, Where are all the male school teachers de Brito broaches a very intriguing subject– is the relative lack of male school teachers adversely affecting society as a whole? Is the lack of positive male role models leading to dumbed down males who, due to the preponderance of female teachers, see learning as a largely “effeminate” practice or discipline?
Would having more male school teachers help curb the dumbing down of the male portion of the species?
