Report: Male Educators Convene Summit in Maryland
On a frigid Saturday morning recently in Prince George’s County there was a gathering of a rare species in public schools: Male teachers.And while there were less than 100 people in Charles Herbert Flowers High School’s cavernous auditorium in Springdale, the meeting --dubbed The First Annual Male Educator Summit: Envisioning the Future of Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) -- marked a start.
More male teachers solution to issues?
The question of whether more male teachers in city schools would help reduce disciplinary problems was raised at Friday’s Danville School Board work session, where board member Philip Campbell addressed the significant gap between male and female teachers.
According to Juliet Jennings, assistant superintendent for human resources, Danville Public Schools currently employs 515 teachers.
Of those, only 91 are male — meaning only about 1 in 6 city teachers are men.

Man that loved teaching young children
He was a peace activist, avid recycler, hiker, proud grandfather, deli food loved, founder of a shelter for homeless, war tax resister, Jewish Unitarian, and an early educator.
Like so many men who teach young children, he had many interests but as a former co-teacher of his said, "His real love was for the children he worked with."
