I wouldn't put one above the other. I've had a great mix & I don't believe it's a s-e-x-i-s-t battle with one being better than the other.

If we want to find a reason for why one sex is better at teaching than the other then there's no problem. There are all sorts of arguments to be made.
Fortunately, teaching is done by individuals and each one brings different skills, abilities, qualities and motivation to the job. Further compounding this is that each teaching job has its own variables.
I have observed that women seem to feel that they have to solve problems. In teaching that can be a good thing but it also can lead to less independent students. If men allow their students to solve their own problems then the students are, in fact, more effective in their learning.
Women have traditionally been the mothers and housekeepers. This requires being excellent at multitasking which is an incredible asset for teachers.
If nurturing attitudes are required of elementary school teachers then we might want to believe that women are better teachers. Are women more nurturing than men? That has been the traditional role but men who go into elementary school teaching are not usually "traditional men". There goes that argument.
If competitive attitudes are required of high school teachers then we might want to believe that men are better teachers. Are men more competitive than women? That has been the traditional model but women who go into high school teaching (especially math and science) are not usually "traditional women". There goes that argument.
An so on....

I can't say one is better than the other and I sure wouldn't put men as second in teaching the styles are very different yes I have three kids of my own two boys and a girl, the boys do better with female teachers my daughter does better with males.
I honestly wish there were more men teachers out there. especially for the younger kids.

Seeing male teachers--and having them--helped me to realize that men could do this sort of job. I am now a teacher myself (and have always been a male!) and I think the male role models I had growing up helped to lead me in this direction. It wasn't the only factor, but it was a part of it.

Being a good teacher has nothing to do with your gender, it is a shame though that more men dont see the value of teaching (particularly the younger children) as a worthwhile and rewarding career

actually i think its the other way around, the problem is women are more apt to teaching. becasue f you look at it, its always better when a father is involved in the family. its just that alot of men dont like to take on that respnsibilty while most women seek it.

In my experience with teachers, each of them had their own methods of instituting the standardized education. I consider many people my teachers, educating me in many different things. Even you are a teacher, when you ask a question. Because the answer can lead to rhetorical debate. Here is a Freudian slip. What parent do you choose?

It depends, I have personally learned from both male and female teachers, and found both of them at best at their own.
Teacher (male/female) is a mind maker, he or she will convert a nobody to somebody. Male teachers has their more strong attitude, help full, female has their soft convincing help full.
I am whatever I am today, is because some male and female teachers.
Thanks to all of them.

No, I don't think that we are better necessarily by gender. I do think that the nurturing which comes more naturally to women does give us an advantage when it comes to early primary education, though.
