<p>I work in a primary school K-3. There are 5 male teachers who are simply TERRIFIC. They do not yell at the children. They do not make them cry. I'm not sure what bad experience you've had, but this is a gross overgeneralization. And from personal experience, the only teacher who EVER yelled at either of my children was an older female teacher who happened to be a grandmother (she yelled constantly...there was always a target in her classes). Personally I think that the main reason that more men don't enter education is that the starting pay for teachers just out of college is not as high as in other professions. AND another thing that tends to happen, many men do not remain in the classroom. They get administrative certification and move on. Our teacher programs in this state do not discriminate against men, in fact encourage them to enroll.</p>
