Answer 2

Good question, Robert

I believe that you are correctLos professores. I struggled to find out the answer to that some while back Dso i think your question is a very good one.

I would also use the words maestro masc = teacher (to speak of a male teacher)

and maestra (fem)= teacher (to speak of a female teacher) This is because they masculine and feminine plurals are more obvious /easy to construct maestros and maestras respectively

However, I think maestroand maestra are used with reference to teachers at school in Hispanic countries/by Hispanic people compared with the word profesor which is used with reference to a college or University teacher/professor)

I hope this helps
