Just came across this article, and I think the failing performance of boys in schools mirrors this decline in male teachers. I don't understand why we don't pay for men's college or offer men only scholarships to address this. We do it for women in the sciences. Of course, the elephant in the room is the sexism, misandry and anti-male environment of a school. That and the threat of false allegations have to be considered other reasons why men do not choose teaching.
