[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our Arlington ES has a male assistant principal, and at least three (maybe more?) male classroom teachers, plus I think the band/orchestra teacher is a male. My DS had one of the male teachers in second grade and, while I thought he was a really good fit for my son, I don't think it was his "maleness" that made him a good fit, but rather his personality. FWIW, the three teachers that have been standouts for either of my sons have been female teachers.[/quote] Tuckahoe! :) I agree that it is more likely personality than sex, but there are some boys who might have internalized gender roles already and, for example, expect tenderness from female teachers and would respond to better to what they see as toughness from a male teacher. Or something like that. [/quote]
