Do male teachers make a difference? Not as much as some think The teaching profession is one of the most female-dominated in the United States. Among elementary school teachers, 89 percent are women, and in kindergarten, that number is almost 97 percent. Many sociologists, writers and parents have questioned whether this imbalance hinders young boys at the start of their education. Are female teachers less understanding of boys’ need to horse around? Or would male role models inspire boys to learn their letters and times tables? Some advocates point to research that lays out why boys ought to do better with male teachers. https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-male-teachers-elementary-school/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
