Problem....Solution?

This growing problem that exists in America's education system needs to be changed. There are probably a multitude of ways that it could be fixed but I have an idea that I think will be the most effective in attracting males to the teaching profession. If we offer a little incentive to males who decide to pursue a degree in elementary education, or education in general, this might attract more males. This incentive could be something as simple as a tax break once they have a teaching job. It could also be taken to such measures as helping males pay for the education process of becoming a teacher. Now some of you may be freaking out at the thought that males would be getting preferential treatment from our government. Isn't our governement suppose to treat everyone equal? Well that is true when society treats everyone equal. Unfortunately our society doesn't always treat everyone equal. And the government must step in and promote equailty. The current educational system is not attracting males to the workforce therefore things are not equal. Therefore I beileve the government has the right and the duty to balance that workforce, by any many necessary other than forcing someone to take a job. Incentives are probably the easiest way to get more males attracted to teaching as of right now; however, this could create a compounding effect that will help even more later. The more male teachers there are the more kids will see that it is ok for a male to be a teacher thus bringing some of those kids, the ones that were borderline between becoming a teacher and not, will become teachers. This will greatly help the young boys in this country stay intrested in their education and could help improve our country as a whole.
