FTA: In a culture that no longer tolerates masculinity, excessive boyishness may have been turned into an illness. ADHD is diagnosed in nine times as many boys as girls, and there were 461,000 prescriptions written out for Ritalin, the drug used to treat it, in 2007.

That's really sad. Primary education is officially feminized with people who don't understand boys and masculinity.

What do you expect? Men who go into childcare usually get labelled as paedophiles.

I'm a male teacher. Men just don't want to go into teaching. We don't have a problem with this idea when there are few women in a field, such as the tech industry. Equality is about the right to chose one's path without discrimination, but doesn't necessarily mean that all things must be equal. Hopefully the students will get by with minimal male involvement.

Why don't school install securities cameras (for both male and female teacher)? That would solve the problem. Also, that's pretty dumb to give the same education to boys and girls : stop standardizing it, with schools for boys, and schools for girls.

Gah, I love England.

Whether you want to blame it on this or not, has anyone else noticed the decline in education quality, no matter the budget, in both England and the US? It seems we're more than happy to throw more and more money into this system, but it doesn't seem to net us more capable students. Perhaps if we consider how our teachers are being tought, who our fresh teachers are, and what direction it's all going, we might be able to help our children.

Or we can ignore that men are essentially meant to be shoved out of the eye of the public and instead left to be the bumbling cavemen that so many want to see us as.
