When the scope of career available to women stopped being "teacher or nurse or secretary", the teaching profession more or less lost everybody who likes math. There are individual exceptions, but statistically, every school teacher for a couple generations now is someone self-selected for not liking math. If you want kids to like arithmetic and learn it effectively, you have to make teaching pay as well as engineering or accounting as a necessary-but-not-sufficient precondition.
