No Male Teachers Equals No Future Men
Article here. Excerpt:
'According to a 2009 report, more than a quarter of English children do not have even a single male teacher at their school. For many children, that means they have greatly reduced contact during the day with an adult man until age 11 when they go to secondary school. Children who don’t have a father in the home may not have any regular contact with a male role model until they go to secondary school.
The situation is similar in America, and Canada, and Australia—where between 70 to 75 percent of teachers are female.
Why is society robbing young boys of the masculine role models they need?
The lack of male leaders in schools is all the more hurtful considering the fact that most of the children going to school come from broken families or families that will one day experience divorce. America has more than 13 million single parents raising more than 21 million children. More than four out of five of those custodial parents are mothers.'
