...interesting as well that we're told that girls tend to be the higher achievers, academically...and yet we're also told that they're the lower earners/disadvantaged there, in the work place...so despite being lower achievers, then...boys still excel more in the work place..?..or are recognised more..?...
..I think that in general, people aren't choosing the teaching profession so much because it's just not so much about teaching and time in the classroom, which is why it's always been chosen as a vocation but there are probably more male primary school teachers now as there has ever been....males though, don't tend to choose primary school teaching because it hasn't got the potential of career, that schools for older children have...it's also a completely different structure because it doesn't (mostly) have subject teachers, but just class teachers....and males tend to prefer to teach in their own specialist subject, rather than more 'bite sizes' of every subject...

Every single factor is against boys
the number of male teachers at junior and primary ages has fallen consistently for 3 decades.
3 years ago a survey was done showing 80,000 more women than men applied for uni, law appplications were 70% women 30% men
approx 50% of boys grow up fatherless and no male teachers at all....where are their male rold models? these boys havent got a hope in hell and these useless spineless politicians have created this situation
anyone who questions it is shouted down as sexist and we get the meaningless line the patriarchy doesnt work ...just look at the state of men in this country ? seriously there are tens of millions of workless broken young men doped upto their eyeballs on drugs, male suicides are the highest theyve ever been and the spiral downwards just goes on and on
In 2013 Of the 558,898 candidates who applied to university by the January deadline this year, 319,752, or 57.2 per cent, were women. Some 239,146, or 42.8 per cent, were men.
87% of primary teachers in the uk are female, this figure is 80% across the developed world

One in four primary schools in England still has no male registered teacher, which has led to questions about positive male role models.
The General Teaching Council for England statistics show that as of March 31 this year only 26,208 men were working as primary school teachers, compared to 185,023 women...only 8% of primary teachers in scotland are men
No doubt the endless threat of being labelled a pervert hangs over every man...as once any accusation is made their lives and reputation are instantly destroyed forever regardless of innocence...in the uk now a man accused of anything is never innocent till proven guilty, he is instantly guilty by gossip regardless of the facts or the truth
Women get infinitely more support than men in every section fo society, whether its the nhs spending, charity, refuges, support workers, social care, benefit system, schools, motherhood, education. the list goes on and on
Vast swathes of the uk industrial areas were destroyed by thatcher and nothing has been done to regenarate those areas and find work for these young men. that allied to the bias within the system towards women has especially mothers over fathers in the law courts has lead to this pitiful sorry state of affairs. the entire culture is out of balance. the gender war was based mostly on completely phoney assumptions too. The real war should be with the elite 1% and the corporate takeover of planet earth. not between men and women and girls and boys.
im delighted to see girls and women do well , my beef is simply that the system now disadvantages boys and men to an absurd degree and the double standards are simply staggering
I also feel the endless feminist politics has taken the spotlight and funding away from far more disadvantaged groups , the sick, the disabled, the elderly , the diseased etc etc and created a frnakly insane politically correct environment obsessed with serving radical feminism at the expense of others
