Female and male teachers are two of the most common groups of people that I see at the grocery store. However, when it comes to teaching, I have a strong preference for males. This is because females are typically more nurturing and give more feedback. Men, on the other hand, are more of a risk taker and seem to be more focused on the task at hand.
In my opinion, I think having more women in a classroom adds a lot more “oomph.” It seems like, no matter how well the male teacher does, there are always going to be the female students who can’t seem to get along with him. When I walk in to class, I feel like I’m walking into a room full of “female pe teacher”.
That’s not to say that female students are bad or bad students, I just think having more women in the classroom helps the whole classroom work better, and therefore the overall classroom atmosphere. A male teacher, on the other hand, can be more of a problem because he can make teachers and students less likely to talk to each other and to the teacher.
You sound as if you’ve got a really good idea of what this is all about.
Female pe teachers are another example of how a bad teacher can affect a classroom. The reason I say this is that I am currently the head PE teacher at a female high school and I have to deal with some of the same challenges that male teachers have. It’s interesting that PE teacher’s jobs are mostly about physical fitness and strength, whereas male teachers care more about teaching the value of personal responsibility and the importance of caring for students.
At the college I work at, the females in our class are almost always the most motivated of the students, but the female teachers are the ones who actually seem to have the most trouble in their jobs. One of the female teachers had been with the school for over a decade and had no idea what a female teacher was doing. She had apparently just assumed that any female teacher was a man, which is obviously not true.
That’s why I’m glad to see that the two female teachers at my college are women of color. It’s also really cool that the only male teacher in our class is a woman of color, and I really hope that this becomes more the case in the future. But here’s the thing: The female teachers are also the ones who are most hesitant to hold back on their work. That’s probably because they know that they might get fired.
Female teachers get an extra bit of help in this game. Its very apparent in the dialogue. One of the female characters says, “The reason I don’t quit is because I’ve got my class ready in my head.” Another says, “I’m not worried about being fired because I’m not that kind of teacher.” Both of these statements are also said in a very feminine way. This is not a game about male teachers, but female teachers.
Its interesting that female teachers are an important part of the game, since they are the ones running the school. This is because they are the ones who are responsible for teaching the students. The students are the ones who get to decide what to do, and they do.
