Why make a website about it?
I chose to make my website about this issue because not many people are aware of female dominance in the teaching profession, and if they are aware of it, they are not aware of how it is effecting the students, the workplace, and the professionalism of the career. This website acts as an informational source to provide basic knowledge about the idea, opinions of people whom it effects daily, and directions for where to find further information!

How is it affecting teaching?
- There is a continuous presence of more and more female teachers than male in the classroom setting.
- Men in teaching profession are only holding hierarchical positions; such as, administrators and principals. They are not seen as often in the classroom interacting with children/students.
- Teaching is losing its professionalism because of the female dominance. Without prominent male teaching professionals, it is being seen as "professional mothering" because women are supposed to be compassionate and nurturing mothers.
