Snipped:
Inquirer's Linda Bolido: Why is the teaching staff all-male for the boys’ schools and all-female for the girls’ schools?
Dr. Raul Nidoy: The reason is also linked to the preference for single-sex schools rather than coeducation. The one who would know the psychology, mind-set, emotional makeup, motivations, etc., of boys would be someone who would know it from within, another male, but with the advantage of adulthood and the wisdom that it brings. The same would be true for girls and women. Boys would learn from men what it means to be a man and a gentleman; girls would learn from women what it means to be a woman and a lady.
Another advantage of an all-male staff (is) they, to a limited extent, fill the gap that we find in a typical Filipino family, where the father has limited presence and influence. Boys need good male role models, who would normally be their father, an older brother or a teacher, not entertainment or sports figures.
Yet another advantage is in the tutorial relationship, which sometimes calls for discussion of intimate matters, such as something in the child’s conscience, something about relations with the opposite sex. Our experience is that this is best done with someone of the same sex.
In a class taught by a man, girls were more likely to say the subject was not useful for their future. They were less likely to look forward to the class or to ask questions.
