The Diocese of Shreveport is highlighting the wonderful contributions of Catholic educators in my Diocese. See Diocese of Shreveport: Best Educator of the Year 2009
One thing strikes you. They are all female. The lack of positive male role models (beside Coaches) is a problem we see in both Catholic and public schools. Catholic schools because of the salary question no doubt have this problem in spades. I don't know how many males teachers besides Coaches the Dicoese of Shreveport has. I suspect over the years like elsewhere it has declined.
Just an observation. I sometimes think that the lack of male teachers sort of make not only education but active involvement in the Church seem like a only female affair.
The Shreveport Times ran a wonderful article on beleloved teacher at Loyola Prep in Shreveport that just retired. I cannot tell you how men young boys that became some of this State's most successful citizens. (I so wish I could find it again). May his number be replenished.
