It sure looks like things will get a lot worse for boys in school before they get better. Like you say, the article expresses concern with the decline of boys in academia, but finds it necessary to include some feminist progaganda. The one that gets me is "women, long a power in elementary teaching, are finally cracking the barriers in secondary schools." This after the whole article talks about the lack of male teachers.
I think at some point the general male population will wake up and we will see the backlash for real.

I would consider teaching high school math or science, and may do so as a form of working-retirement years from now, assuming that a career in my field is enough to qualify me to teach.
My father was a teacher who taught every age from primary school through graduate. He counts himself lucky to have become a teacher before the age of the Education degree. He was never forced to take Education classes, as in his day study of a discipline was enough to teach that discipline.
I can't speak for all men, but having to wade through a completely invented field of higher education in order to teach is enough of a dis-incentive to keep me away.
Anybody know the male/female ratio on school boards in the US?
