The fate of boys “is a defining issue of our time”, according to the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, as she calls for more men to become teachers to combat “toxic” behaviours.
since 2010 the number of teachers in our schools has increased by 28,000 – but just 533 of those are men
Do you think this is an issue? Decades ago, boys would have been taught by male teachers, so today’s female teachers are a change from the past.
not just currently, boys have always been left behind in this sense. who was their positive role model in these days of yore? some sexist reactionary ass, most likely.
