Early education --- preschool and perhaps early elementary --- is admittedly a tough place for men. On the other hand, someone who's spent a lot of time honing technical skills probably belongs not teaching preschool & kindergarten but in upper elementary, middle school, or beyond. And I've found that a perfectly welcoming place as a middle school & high school teacher (and running after-school programs for upper elementary). A dirty little secret, too, is that men often have a much easier time with classroom management, etc, because of cultural biases.
