Increasing Leadership roles

As i was reading throuought chapter five i thought that it was intresting that in the early 19th century that most teachers were men but by the late 1880's the majiorty up to 9o percent were women. In 1982 up to one fifth of all New England women served as teachers at some point in there lives. They say that what caused this expansion was that hireing women was a matter of priactial finances because women were cheaper to pay for the same job. I found this very disturbing considering that i am going to school to be a teacher. Now that they did that they are in high demand of male teachers because they are good role models for male students.
