Abstract	An administrator for Family Services, Inc., an organization that serves Forsyth, Stokes, and Davie Counties in North Carolina, asks about the benefits of males in classrooms for young children. This dialogue addresses this question by explaining the general effects that males have on early childhood and by exploring the literature on fathers and their unique contributions to children. Next, the article examines specifically how a teacher's gender may affect children's learning experience by exploring the theoretical literature on gender matching supported by some school systems. The article concludes that having a man's presence in an educational setting would be beneficial, particularly for children who may have little male interaction elsewhere. (As Provided).
