Abstract
Since I’ve been working around children and within the school system, I have noticed that the behavior in the classroom is getting increasingly alarming. The teachers are trying very hard to figure out what they can do to implement discipline in the classroom to bring the behaviors under control. The fact that the majority of teachers are Females raises a question of could the behaviors mainly in the boys are due to the Gender Gap. This study surveyed a group of elementary school teachers on their opinions of rather the classrooms should once again be segregated.

Introduction
This research is to determine if the behavior of male students in the classroom is based on lack of respect for female teachers. In addition this research will show if the behavior of the female student is different because of male teachers. The research will show cause that the segregation of the classroom will not prove the behavior of the students. Female teachers have proven to be capable of teaching male students as well as female students. This research and surveyed questions will help determine whether or not the behavior in the classroom is due to Gender Bias. This research will determine if in Teachers’ opinions if classrooms should remain integrated. Another purpose of this study will determine if “Feminization” plays a role in boys’ underachievement in the classroom as well as throughout their life. Could too many female teachers and not enough male teachers lead a boy child astray; causing him to underachieve or be unsuccessful throughout his life?
