not that i would do anything about the way things are, but i dont see why anyone would be angry or bothered by this. i concluded last year, my oldest in 5th grade that it was about time he had a male teacher. this teacher was the best for him. (i guess it also matters on the individual. a bad teacher male or female is going to produce bad). but i loved seeing son have a male teacher and the changes in him with a male teacher. why not

my youngest in 2nd had a male substitute. i asked him how he liked it, and if there was a difference from a female teacher. there was. we talked it

this year my oldest has a couple male teachers and i am excited for him

makes perfect sense that males would understand the male, and females would understand the females better.

and no way would i want changes, or segregate classes. just seems to be something that the males have to deal with. (since the majority of the teachers in younger grades are female). but i do understand a difference.
