Improving Scores with Gender Segregation »
In classrooms across the US today, some 80% of teachers are female. A recent report shows that in these classrooms, it is quite likely that the teacher in front of these classrooms then affects how those students learn - but perhaps not in the way you might think. If the teacher is female, she is likely to see the male students as disruptive. If the teacher is a male, the female students are less likely to think the class useful to their future.
Interesting. I never really thought of it. Perhaps there is something to this. It is also interesting that in the case of a female teacher it is the male students who are disruptive and in the case of the male teacher it is the female students who find the class does not fit into their future plans - there doesn't appear to be any issue that the male teacher has with the female students. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about how it appears to be the females who are unsatisfied, and I'll just keep moving along.
