I heard a discussion today (by two women) about teaching martial arts to boys & girls. The discussion around the idea that boys need to taught primarily by men, in order to learn how to grow up to be men. Women, they said, just cannot teach boys how to be men.
There are many public high schools & private colleges have the idea that girls learn best in same-sex classrooms.
Some people say that there is a lack of leadership from the men in our society toward the boys of our society.
What do you think of this idea? Does it have merit? Is the importance of same-sex role models in the dojo/dojang over stated?
