A FEW GOOD MEN: MALE TEACHERS HARD TO FIND
The Chronicle Telegram reports a nationwide decline in male teachers, now about 21 percent overall and 9 percent in elementary schools. Lorain County mirrors the trend with 26 percent male teachers and Crestwood Elementary listing only two male colleagues among thirty. Experts cite gender norms, abuse accusations, and pay as key factors, while noting historical shifts from male dominance to a female-majority profession.
