My sons both went to Catholic schools (K-12) but for high school they went to an all boys Catholic school with 95% male teachers. There was a definitely a difference. My sons had a different kind of respect for the male teachers as a posed to the female teachers. Probably because, once being boys themselves, the teachers could relate to the boys better. Not sure, but it worked.
Growing up, I had probably half male/half female K-12, and I'm trying to recall, but I think my most favorite/memorable teachers were male. It wasn't until high school where I actually got a mix of male/female.
Either way, I love the concept of homeschooling and I have faith we'll soon return to that model. My church does church/private school but it's very expensive and 65% of the rest home school.
I feel for those that want to because they know public school is terrible, but can't afford the time or expense. Soon enough, all that will be changing....

Sending our kids to private school was definitely a sacrifice. I don’t think we’d be able to do it in this economy.
