When I was in elementary school, there was ONE male teacher in the entire school. This was mostly in the 80s.
My kids' school has 1 male K teacher (an amazing teacher. he brought in real hand saws, lumber, real hammers, nails, etc, and let the kids use them to build crap), 1 male 2nd teacher, 2 male 4th teachers, 2 male 5th teachers. Progress.
I am STRONGLY in favor of involving men in elementary education.
The reason why men don't get involved in teaching little kids is because of the feminist led pedo panics in the 80s and 90s.
As someone who wants more men in teaching, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy as a career. Nobody will ever trust you like they trust a woman, you'll always be considered suspicious.
