<p>There were two male teachers at my youngest son's elementary school. That's out of 14 teachers. The fourth grade teacher told me once that he really wanted to teach first or second grade but that he was discouraged from doing so. He's a really cool young man but is kind of loud and I can see him frightening some of the little ones. This year he was moved down to third grade but I haven't heard how it worked out since my son's moved on to MS.</p>
<p>The male teachers really do stand out and I wish there were more of them.</p>
