Male Teachers

Happy New Year btw :)

At risk of reigniting a debate of machete throwing magnitude between Bleachy and Milo, *BJ ducks*, Lol, I read the following today which was mildly interesting:

A recent report by University of Western Sydney academics records that "contrary to popular argument that boys fare better academically under male teachers...it was found there existed no such significant interaction between student gender and teacher gender. The only significant interaction that emerged was that girls reported a better relationship with female teachers than with male teachers, while boys reported fairly similar relationships."

However a professor from the University of Newcastle counters the results of the survey maintaining that the results do not address the issue of the importance of having more male teachers in classrooms in order to reflect society as a whole and the need for boys "to see that men care about education and children".
