I don't think so, because Google is primarily a tech company not a teaching company.

However I'd be disappointed in Google if they didn't try to even out the gender ratio of the teachers and hire some more males as well. I can understand it would look like hypocrisy to some.

Im actually wondering if Google was using the number of employed female teachers to increase their overall male/female ratio... it seems like a 50/1 ratio has to have an explanation behind rather than pure chance

It looks like that's a somewhat normal ratio for pre-k teaching. The percentage goes up for male teachers as kids age for some reason.
