'An admissions tsar has claimed a fall in boys going to university is due to the rise of female teachers in Britain's schools.

The 'dominance' of women taking classes is contributing to male students ending their academic careers early, says Ucas chief Mary Curnock Cook.

Ms Curnock Cook made the controversial comments in the foreword of a study that says girls are 75 per cent more likely to go on to university.
Currently there are 455,000 teachers at state schools across the country and 74 per cent are women.'

... men who want to work with children are not only presumed "creepy", but if a single false accusation is leveled at a teacher (a male one especially), it creates for him a very expensive legal problem?

Frankly I think a man going into teaching these days here in the western world is nuts. But that's just my opinion. You wouldn't catch me doing it.
