that when you are in elementary all the teachers are women, and in middle school, still mostly women, but a couple men, then in high school a lot more men, fewer women, then in college-way more male teachers than females. why is that?
do you think it has to do with a tolerance for certain age groups? or something else?
or has your experience been different?

Ooh we learn this in my sociology class. Its because males have the lead way in higher paying jobs. Think about it elementary teachers don't make as much money as college professors and there are more male professors than female just like there are more female elementary teachers than male. it also explains why the higher the grade, the more male teachers. higher grade= higher pay.

hmm maybe it has to do with the maternal instinct women have towards children thus a lot of women tend to teach younger children and men older students. Don't know just guessing.

Probably because men like looking at young girls and in High school they're almost of age.. So they are ripe for the picking. Basically Men are perverts. I'm just kidding guys : / but seriously they are.

u are going to get only a C- for noticing anything that happened to u in life. u could get up graded to a full C if u know what u know before they do. maybe in your next life you'll c what could have been, and ask why not?

I suppose it has something to do with patience.
That's my best thought.
Peace.
