maggiano is an award-w
inning teacher in the social studies department at west springfield high school in virginia. he has taught in public and private schools for 25 years .in a piece on his blog called “the classroom post,” he calls for more males to enter the profession(职业).
men teach, a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching, reports that in 2008, 18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men. at the high school level during the same year, men comprised（构成） 44% of the work force.
why are there so few men in teaching? men teach says low pay and lack of prestige（声望）, as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women. as a result, there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession.
a study in 2008 by the national education association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low. males comprised 24.5 percent of public schoolteachers. states with high percentages: kansas (33.6 percent), oregon (31.6 percent), alaska (30.9 percent) and indiana (30.5percent).states with the lowest percentage : arkansas (16.2 percent), virginia (17.4 percent), mississippi (17.5 percent), louisiana (18 percent), south carolina (18.5 percent) and georgia (19.7 percent).
there is no definitive(确定) research that male students--or female students, for that matter-- learn better from a particular sex.
but as maggiano put it, “kids today, both boys and girls, must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding, devoted men that i did. however, i have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders.
