Chapter 6

After reading this chapter, I believe that the argument over what constitutes a good teacher is a prevailing conclusion of the reading.  The reading tries to persuade the reader that women are better teachers than men because women are naturally better at dealing with children than men are. But is this actually true? From natural society we know that children are born into families with a mother and a father, does this mean that children favor their mothers over their fathers, because the mother should better be able to deal with the children? I believe that the article would say that this is true.  I think that this article couldn not be more wrong that women are naturally better teachers than men.  I know personally that in my years of schooling, I have had some women teachers who were absolutely horrible, and some men teachers who I thought were excellent.  I believe that the only fair way to judge who a better teacher is, is by comparing their knowledge on the topic, and seeing how they are able to convey it to the individuals.  The stereotype that women are better is false in my opinion, its about who teaches the subject more effectively.  There is no doubt in my mind that there are many women teachers who are better qualified than men, but the same can be said about male teachers.  What it all boils down to is who teaches the topic more effective to the children.  That is how we should see who the beter teachers are.
