Women Are Better Teachers

WEEK 15

Do women made better to be a teacher? It is too subjective to be answered because some people may agree but some people do not. From the statistic shown by the Malaysia Ministry of Education on 30th June 2011, the number of female teachers are about 300000 while male teachers only consists of more than 100000. We may see that teaching profession been dominated by females especially in primary and secondary school. Nowadays, women are more being chosen to be a teacher because of their characteristics as well as their qualifications.

One of the reasons why female teacher do better than men is the caring nature. Being a teacher is not only educates your student but also nurturing them just like your children as they are like second mother of the students. So an innate maternal instinct help them easily deal with children. Besides that, female teacher who are like mother figure of students have high emotional intelligence that is empathy that help teacher to emotionally connect with the students and concern on students’ needs. They are able to sympathise a lot more with students and take a much more balanced approach which may not be done by male. Usually, students who are teenagers always need someone who they can rely on, by listening and accompany them because their parents are busy with their job and did not have time with their children. Some students are more comfortable sharing their problems with teachers rather than their friends. Male, on the other hand, will focus on a subject and teaching in the class and rarely asks about student’ needs.

Creativity is also the attraction of female teacher that make them better than male teachers. They usually will have a much different method to attract their students’ attention on the subject. They have a lot of ideas to motivate their students using creative and inspirational methods of teaching. They used many ways in order to ensure the students will like and understand about the lesson like games, acting, story-telling and singing. They are also been likely to try out alternative ways to make the students understand what they have learnt. It is because not all students have high understanding level, so as a creative teacher they are able to deal with this type of problem and never give up with all the failure occurred. At the same time, female teachers are also stimulates the students to response and feedback and not only lecturing them.

The best leader will inspire his followers. It just likes the female teacher who being able to lead their students. They have their own initiative to work on with students and always work hard to improve their work. Besides that they are willing to learn from others and not following their ego that always be done by male. They can confess their mistake and accept advises from others even their own students. As a good leader to students, they are also willing to sacrifice whether personal comforts and desires and put the interests of students first in order to see the students’ success. A female teacher always sincerely appreciated their students’ effort and will instinctively seek to draw out the good qualities of other people. They will also take time to offer gratitude for the efforts of others.

Last but not least female teachers give high commitment in their job than men that not give 100% commitment on their work. As a high commitment teacher, they play an important role in everybody’s life especially on framing their students’ future. Female teachers will always concern on their main objective being a teacher and does not think her job is only for money. They are very discipline did their job and never ignore their students’ needs. They who are values her teaching profession always work hard to do their best to their students.

As a conclusion, we may say that women are better to be a teacher than men. Their ability with kids as well as society will be the main reason why teacher is dominated this noble profession and generally very popular and successful in nursery, kindergarten, and even higher secondary classes. Female teachers have the good influences towards students so the students themselves will be influenced by the teachers who are always support them. So women are made better to be a teacher rather than men.
