Teaching profession gender imbalance is getting ridiculous

Been looking at teacher demographics lately and the numbers are wild. In many districts you'll find around 85-95% female teachers, which creates interesting dynamics for advancement opportunities. What's weird is that women dominate the classroom and most administrative positions below principal level - department heads, curriculum coordinators, instructional coaches - basically follow the same pattern since there's such a small male candidate pool.

But then something shifts at superintendent and district leadership levels. The gender balance completely changes despite women making up nearly the entire workforce below. It's a strange phenomenon that doesn't get discussed much in education circles, probably because it makes people uncomfortable regardless of which side they're on.

As someone who works in management myself (different field), I find the whole thing fascinating from organizational perspective. When you have such extreme gender distribution at entry level but completely different ratios at executive level, there's definitely some systemic factors at play that nobody wants to examine too closely.
