Chinanews, Nanjing, March 20 - Currently, most teachers in elementary and high schools in Nanjing are female (more than 80%), which is definitely not good for the healthy growth of the children.

 

Nealy all the teachers in kindergartens and elementary schools are female, and the situation in some very famous high schools is no better at all. Take Nanjing Foreign Language School as an example, in which some 70% of teachers are female.

 

"It requires the joint1 effort of both sexes to support our society, so it's sad to recognize the fact that femininity has dominated our basic education. I am not saying that women are inferior to men in any aspect, but obviously too many female teachers will neither help the kids to develop a sound mind nor a strong body at all," said Liu Yonghe, the director of Nanjing Educational Institute.

 

"In modern society, children usually spend much less time with their fathers than with their mothers, and most teachers in schools are female, too. That is to say, most kids today live in a feminine environment, which might result in a lack of masculinity when they grow up, especially boys," said Zhu Shanping, a teacher from Nanjing Foreign Language School. "Of course, female teachers are usually more attentive2, patient and gentle than their male colleagues, but it is not a good social atmosphere for kids to grow up in," added Zhu to support Liu's viewpoint.

 

Besides, male teachers today are usually somewhat feminized by their environment, which only makes the situation worse.
