Are we really sexist against male teachers? I don't buy it. There are male teachers everywhere at all levels in Chicago, and male teachers are routinely represented in the media, usually positively.

If I'm searching the BLS site correctly, nation wide 57% of secondary, 80% of primary, and 97% of preschool/kindergarten school teachers are women.

[Edit: For comparison it shows 21% of computer programmers as women.]

Much like the existence of female engineers does not prove that the industry does not discriminate against women...

It looks like there are twice as many male teachers as there are female engineers.
