I have been an administrator in Child Development Centers for the past 10 years and I have employed the best and worst of both males and females. I believe that children should be exposed to a well balanced life and having both genders in their programs enhances those experiences. Judy to say that men should be placed in positions as principals because that is where they should be is absurd. How do you expect that principal to guide you through your professional career when they have not experienced being in the classroom? I would expect this from either sex. I currently run a small afterschool program with 1 female staff and 1 male staff and the children love them both equally. It is not because of their gender but because of the respect and the curriculum that they bring to the center. Good Luck Men! ECE just needs to have good providers regardless of their anatomies.
