Story here. Excerpt:

'Caley is one of only four male teachers in his school. Of the district’s 354 elementary teachers, only 37 are men.

That might come as no surprise. Men have been the minority among teachers in this country since the 19th century.

But this is the 21st century, when men and women aren’t railroaded into traditional roles. Things should be changing, right?

On the contrary, the number of men teaching school is at a 40-year low, according to the National Education Association.'
