Story here. Excerpt:

'Children are more likely to behave badly in front of male teachers than females, according to a survey published today.
...
Christine Blower, acting general secretary of the NUT, said: "Despite the impression given by some national figures that women teachers are more subject to experiencing bad behaviour than men, the evidence is that it is male teachers who sometimes experience greater levels of poor pupil behaviour.

"It also demonstrates how misleading gender stereotypes are."'

This doesn't pass the smell test to me. Sounds like another biased "survey".

The question it doesn't answer is: Who does a boy (or girl) learn more from: A man or a woman?
