What determines a better future is not the gender of the teacher, but more of the passion in doing your job. If you are motivated in your job, you will definitely find better ways to improve your teaching methods regardless of your gender, which will help students absorb more knowledge during teachings.

Well, I could go with the PC answer in saying "it all depends on the individual", but instead, I'll go with a more bullshit scientific approach:

Women, in some ways, can be better teachers because of their tendency to be more nurturing. Women, of course, are biologically engineered by nature to be better at raising young children. So, it would be easy to presume that women would be better when it comes to teaching young children.

HOWEVER! what about older students? Now, in today's culture, it makes a very little difference in whether the teacher is male or female. But, at the same time, it makes subtle differences that are neither good nor bad. In some ways, having a male teacher will benefit the student, but in other ways, having a female teacher will benefit them in a separate but equal way.

but once again, referring to older students, a male teacher will possibly be better because males would be better at teaching the students life lessons through a logical, analytical mentality.

And here's another major whammy: For which ages should a student be taught by a certain gender of a teacher? What kind of students should be taught by what kinds of teachers? Is it important to increase diversity or to actually separate the different classes?

In all honesty, those questions would require so much analysis of people in general, and it is likely that we'll never actually get an answer. Teachers can highly influence students, and depending on the teacher, it could take that student in completely different routes when it comes to personality development.

To me, whether you have a male teacher or a female teacher, it really makes no difference (in a positive to negative scale). Personally, I seem to prefer male teachers, but that's because I identify with males more.

Both male and female have their styles in teaching, and there are also different styles that males use to teach and different styles females use to teach. It doesn't matter on the gender, but more of the approach the teacher uses to approach the right batch of students!

I have to disagree. Every male teacher I've ever had has been a much cooler teacher than the female teachers I've had. Not to mention, they taught on a higher level as well.

SEXIST PEOPLE!!!! Everyone's equal (except maybe Brussels sprouts...they suck...)

I generally thought women would be better teachers than men, but through my experiences in general the men tend to be better. Mostly it's because they care more about the actual content of the work and not if different colours were used and pictures were drawn/stuck on.

Men and women are supposed to be equal! we are Not to sit around and judge or consider which is better and which is worse in this sexist nature?! intelligant Women and men are both great teachers that deliever there knowledge down to our children!!

I think teaching skills has much more weight in competency than gender.

Exactly, Female teachers are too patient than male teachers. Its not that male teachers are not patient. They are patient only at the right side and if the student is doing wrong ofcourse he will scold him/her. Thats what a student a good student.

I think men are better teachers and here's why. By the way I'm a guy currently in 9th grade..

The past woman teachers that I have had never seem interested in teaching, while men are always so organized and teach with such passion. It seems as if woman know a lot of there stuff but the disorganization just kills it. Also I think male teachers are a lot nicer and always are same mood. female teachers sometimes burst and show too much emotion.

this is just my opinion . out of all the teachers ive had in my "school" life ive always liked male teachers better, especially in history.
