[the truth]

Just wondering if the 12% is for any specific stage of education or all stages combined. If it is a combined statistic, I don't think it's as much of a problem; on the whole, younger children do better with more nurturing females as caregivers (obvious evolutionary reasons for this) and I personally don't think focussed education needs to start until high-school age. That said... with an ever-increasing number of single parent (usually mother) families, maybe it WOULD be beneficial to have a better split at primary school age, as there are a lot of children growing up without many adult males in their lives...

glad ou agree...12% is a major problem and the media and the politicians should have addressed this years ago...clearly the feminists don't care.
women teachers vastly outnumber men at every age of education, in fact under the age of 8 in the usa only 2% of teachers are men....2% that's just sad, for those kids with no fathers they have no male role models in their lives, tragic
