<p>I think it IS broke</p>
<p>Children need to be taught by adults they can relate to.
Just as minorities can more closely identify with teachers who look like them, boys especially need to have male teachers to identify with.
I also feel both sexes will benefit by having more positive male role models, in communities where the dads are working 80+ hours a week and in communities where there is no father in the home, both will gain from having positive daily models of what it means to be a man. Where else are they going to get these models otherwise, from sitcoms and video games?</p>
