I do not agree with your opinion. Where is the factual data that backs up both your assertions that
- “ We don’t pay most public school teachers a living wage, and we expect women to do most of the work at home. This has led to a majority of men not choosing to be teachers”
- “most school principals and administrators (the ones that are paid high salaries) are held by men”
This is a worldwide phenomenon, not limited to a US insular view, see here: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.PRM.TCHR.FE.ZS
And several sources give very different reasons form yours for men not picking up the job, just one here:
Not only that, but some may go as far as denouncing bias against boys in teh classroom:

You’ve said “ it would seem to be a problem we need men to help solve before we can get more male teachers in our schools.”
No. You see, the issue I have is people deflecting or blaming automatically. We need everyone to acknowledge this is just one of the many serious issues that men face today which in an equal society should have the same representation and priority as women’s issues have.
Again, creating an increasingly male hostile society is not a step forward.
