Does a female teacher is better in teaching than a male teacher? in what aspect do they differ?

Same answer as your question about the age of teachers ...\n\nThe differeences between teachers are not because of their gender, but are related mostly to attitude and perspective. I have known excellent teachers both male and female. I have also known teachers both male and female who were very bitter and sour and angry in their perspecitve. \n\nJudging or characterizing anyone, teacher or other, by their gender is the same as judging someone by their color or race.  It is a form of prejudice.

Women are doing a lot better in school these days. If that has any bearing on how bright their future is then I would say the girls have a brighter future.

Not at all! Teaching is a physically and intellectually challenging job, and most teachers are up to the task. Those who are not should be weeded out to seek employment elsewhere. There are many who "can't" who TRY to teach, but they "can't" do that either.\n\nChow!!

Many and yes.  \n\nI love teaching and the children are a challenge.  I know many who enter the profession end up hating it.  They believe teaching is like a movie where the right teacher (like Robin Williams in Dead Poet's Society) comes into a classroom and inspires the students to do great things.  While this can happen, it usually takes a lot of work behind the scenes that nobody ever sees.  In reality, teaching is about manipulating (in a good way) and motivating students to maintain a controlled environment where students can take the time to see the magic of what you are trying to teach them.\n\nFor most it takes time to develop these skills.  So you have to enter the field of teaching with the correct mindset knowing that until you develop the skills necessary to balance classroom discipline with fun, teaching can be quite frustrating.  With time and understanding, however, teaching to give you lots of excitement and good times.

Your question is not comprehensive.  It requires circumstantial explanation.  Whether a teacher is a male or a female says that the student, whether a male or a female, would be kicked out of the class without any reason, the teacher is guilty.  But no teacher would ask the student to go out of the class unless there is sufficient reason.  The student might have caused the teacher to reach that kind of emotional upsurge which is not uncommon nowadays.  However both should forget that unpleasant situation and see that teaching and learning process are not affected.

Although some people claim that there is a neurological difference between males and females that accounts for differing abilities in math and science, this article from Yale University refutes it:\nhttp://www.yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=28105\nBasically, it explains the apparent difference in terms of society and society's expectations of women. \n\nWhen I majored in math in college, half our class was made up of women.

Thinking of all my teachers past and present ... the difference between a good teacher and a great teacher is passion for the subject of the course combined with passion for teaching.

Males are good at single-track thinking with lots of low-level detail.  If it's going to be that kind of program, then males will (in general) program it better.\n\nFemales are better at attending to multiple development tracks  and keeping lots of requirements in mind simultaneously, so for that kind of program they will generally be better.

Men and women can generally act differently in a workplace or school.  Even if they don't act differently, we can think they act differently.\n\nIt's helpful to go to school with people of the other sex so that you get used to working with them, and you don't have to make that big adjustment later in life.

I think the answer to the sports part is too obvious.  Boys are stronger than girls.  Boys are rougher than girls.  Girls cannot compete physically.  The only benefit I can see for separating the sexes during school is so that their minds won't wander so much.  Maybe they would pay more attention to their work.

People make assumptions about girls and boys.  In my classes the girls naturally gravitate toward sitting together and so do the boys.  It's an odd situation when student behave like that, because they group and girls chat, they get pushed to the side.  Boys take the chance to participate more often.  They get more attention.  So, I try to pay close attention to spending quality tiome with the girls if the boys lead a discussion.

according to all the sources and statistics i've read, and people i've been around, girls. but you see the thing is, it isn't about who's smarter. most girls work harder. they are more disciplined, more focused, more articulate, more goal-oriented, more articulate, more serious, and are given the better training. it is sad, but true. the girls also use more of their brain. these are the reasons why they produce better work.\n\ni would really love to see boy children get better training (and love), being more serious, strive to be the best, strive for excellence, instead of the macho man crap. we'd do better.

Well, teachers are usually specialized in the area that they are teaching.  So while they might be smart at one thing, they might not know anything about another subject.  This is not to say that teacher's do know all about the subject matter at hand.  They learn new things while they teach also.  \n\nHere's a bad analogy:\nIt's like reading a book more than two times.  You always see more the second time around.  Therefore, this effect might take place while teaching from a book.\n\nNow, there are some teachers who don't know how to teach very well, so I guess you might call this an "act."  but, I would call it "practice."

Great question!  As a former teacher, and a student for a long time!!! I would say, yes it does affect students.  Maybe on an unconscious level, but yes.  Students look up to teachers-- what's inside the teacher matters more than what's outside, but you see the outside first. . .

From my own experience online is more difficult for many students because it comes right down to commitment. Are you really committed to the work which is necessary? One role of the teacher, in the classroom, is to motivate students to complete and achieve. If you cannot motivate yourself, then online will be much more difficult to complete. Personally, I prefer the classroom technique to online instruction because I like the interactions which take place in that setting.

Based on an analysis of 74 tests given to 12th graders nationally, Cole and fellow researchers found that females perform better in nine areas, males perform better in five areas. Girls are strongest in verbal/language skills, boys strongest in mechanical/electronic and math concepts. Girls have cut the math/science gap to only one--fourth of what it was 30 years ago, but over that time boys abilities' in verbal skills have not improved.
