My wife was a teacher and she noted that most over her male colleagues were leaving, especially in on the elementary and middle school level.

Too many assumptions or allegations, plus the perception that guys can't be nurturing.

Most of the men still in education were older and were able to migrate away from day-to-day teaching into admin roles. In 20 years those guys will be gone and there won't be any male teachers to replace them.

Sounds like very hostile and sexist environment. I wonder what efforts the school systems take to ensure gender diversity among its employees.


In today's climate perfectly gender diverse means 100% women.

There was a bank that bragged some years ago about being the most diverse bank, since they had 65% or whatever women on the board. 50% was explicitly less diverse than 65%.
