That was 30 years ago! How am I supposed to remember that?
The classes that were definitely male were: freshman History, freshman Science, sophomore Biology, sophomore geometry, junior Health/Driver's Ed, junior and senior Spanish, junior and senior Chorus, senior Government, senior Speech. PE all four years. There may have been others, but that's all I can remember.
English was definitely female all four years. Freshman Algebra was female. Junior Chemistry was female.
Obviously I had more classes than that, but can't remember the teachers at all.
I had 7 different male teachers, and 16 female teachers. Not a bad ratio.
I am 56 years old. I went to a public elementary school and had all woman teachers grades 1-4.
I went to a private school grades 5-8 and had but one man teacher, Mr. Canfield, the music teacher (at an Episcopalian school.)
I went to a public school in high school and had a variety of men and women about equal. 6 classes per school year.
I think my distribution was about 40% male, although I think the high school distribution overall might have been closer to 50/50. I just happened to end up with more of the female teachers. I can't really remember much from K-8, but all I can recall at this point is 2 male teachers.
I really don't remember...I feel like it was nearly even...there were probably slightly fewer male than female teachers but it was close, at least if I'm recalling correctly.
That was a bajillion years ago; I'm so old, there were no history courses because there hadn't yet been any history. (That's a joke I always tell my children...that and my descriptions of killing a bear on the way to school in the snow for my lunch and doing my homework with a piece of rock-chalk on the back of a shovel.)
Math - 50/50
Science - 100% men
Humanities - 2/3 men, 1/3 women
Literature - usually taught by a male teacher / female teacher team. Must have wanted us to get the he said/she said point of view on the great books
Music - 100% men
Gym - Almost 100% women but for 1 male teacher
Drivers Ed - 1 male teacher for everyone
