What grade were you in when you had your first male teacher?

7th grade for me. When I went to school (many years ago), there was an unwritten rule that teachers in the lower grades had to be women. It was because nobody wanted male teachers taking little girls to the bathroom.

Excellent question - had to think about this one. Probably Mr. Lawrence in grade 7. I forgot what he taught but he was like 112 yrs old and he wore two double-breasted 1940's gangster style suits. He wore the blue pinstriped one every day before Christmas then the brown pinstriped one til June. The most boring person I ever knew.
