One of the classes in the school where i work has had supply teachers for a few months. It now has a permanant teacher, but a coupld of the mothers were like "oh, its's a man".
So would anybody on here mind if their child had a male teacher at junior leel (year 3-6 thats ages 7-11 for anyone without kids!!)

I have no problems with it.
He's in a strict school now (I moved him from his previous one), and I feel he's benefited from having a male teacher.

Co-sign Bacoo.
Since when is this a 'new' thing. 
The only teacher that ever taught me anything worth remembering was MR Harvey, a black man who taught me when i was 9, If only all teachers were like him.
All in all female teacherr do seem to be more understanding where young blcak males are concerned, my eldest is a saint but STILL has run ins with white male teachers because of his so-called 'attitude'.

I personally have nothing against male teachers. But then i have no children of my own. I ask because, as I stated in my opening post, judging from the reactions of some of the mothers, i thought that maybe it might be an issue among some parents. I would have thought that after months of disruption with supply teachers and other staff covering, the parents would have been relieved that their children finally had some stability. But the reactio i heard was "oh, its a man" as though it were a problem.
So i thought i would ask the opinion of some folks on here who are parents. I know there is generally no problem at secondary level, but i know a few people may have an "issue" at primary level.

I can remember taking my youngest daughter to her first school day, and getting definite vibes (like, WTF are you doing here?) from both parents and teachers. They had to put up with me for another year, so I guess they eventually got used to it....but that was ten years ago.
The staffing of primary schools seems to me an almost entirely female domain, and I cannot see how that is helpful to either boys or girls. Understandable, maybe - but not helpful.

At first I didn't see what relevance his sex has but in light of some of the bad press and the lack of apparent space in jail for aaaall these paedophiles they've lost control over....I'd have to think again. Maybe that's what the other mothers considered.
Now that you mention it, I have noticed that most of the teachers at our children school are female. Very biased although I wonder if that's voluntarily hmmmm....
Anyway, I've voted No as long as my children are comfortable with it because if there is even a sniff of any of that foolishness going on I want to know about it and I want them to be able to tell me about it  . To be straight I think this of male and female. Just because the females aren't promoted doesn't mean they aren't there. It's a crazy time we're in!

| You've posted a topic similar to this before, so i was just wondering, why do you care? Isnt the primary school staff room supposed to be a feminist environment anyway? Enjoy it!

my previous topic was that more male role models were needed in a school environment. This topi is about whether or not parents mind their children having a male teacher as i had noticed a somewhat negaive/uncomfortable reaction from a couple of mothers.
I care because i care about our children and their future and because the vast majority of my day is spent around children who have no male role models.
And no, the primary school classroom is not a femenist environment. If you have nothing to contribute, why do you care about replying?!
Thanks for all CONSTRUCTIVE replies so far.
PS mods i can;t see the result of the poll!!

I think the question is highly relevant given the serge of pedophilia cases we have seen in the past - Jessica and ...; spring to mind and the 'caring' caretaker. Parents have become increasingly scared and weary of who is coming into to contact with their children whilst they are supposed to be in a safe environmet -school, teachers or not.
Personally, I would'nt mind my child being taught by a male teacher, but my fundamental requirement of a teacher is that he/she teaches with passion and drive to inspire children to be the best that they can be.

Kunjufu hit the nail on the head.
Men their relationship with children in todays society are painted in a predatory context in terms of Paedophilia or child abuse.
Fathers are generally airbrushed out of the Media unless it's about some woman trying to get her money in a Divorce.
The only father rights for fathers that seem to be acceptable to society as the Government see's it is Gay Fathers for adoption.
This is part of the moral decay in society where a Man is viewed with Suspicion when with child. Up to the point of Teaching

Though rarer women can be pedophiles too. 
Personally I'd prefer all boys schools and throughout their school life be taught by all male teachers; vice versa for girls.

If the time spent promoting gays, was spent instead on doing something serious about these peadophiles, then maybe this question wouldn't even have come to mind. Then again maybe this government is trying to tell us that paedophilia is also acceptable in society.
You cannot seriously tell me that the prisons were soooo packed with all kinds of other criminals, that the only choice of who to let go would be them. I'd rather have a teef in my area if that's the only other option.
