Boys do better at school when taught by men, while women help improve girls'
performances, US research suggests.
A study of 25,000 pupils by Stanford University economist Thomas Dee found
children did 4% better in tests when their teachers were of the same sex. -----

That's why boys are falling behind. And who in their right mind in
this day and age wants to become a primary schoolteacher if they are a
man? All men are considered to be potential pervs so you will never
really be trusted and always under suspicion. It's just not worth
it.....
