Expression: "How many of your fathers are doctors?"

[Tom]

Hi

A teacher wants to ask his students in his class about their fathers. How does the following sentence sounds to you? If it's incorrect, please tell me the correct one.

[Jamie (K)]

It's correct.

[Conchita]

For what it's worth, the word 'fathers' in that question may sound a bit odd to Western ears in this day and age, Tom.

How many of your parents are doctors? would be more like it, in my opinion.

[Lost_Soul]

Wow... I always assumed that one can have only one father... To me the sentense suggests that one can have more.
I'd say "How many of you have father who is a doctor"
I have no idea if it is correct, but in Russian I'd choose a similar construction:)

What about "How many of you whose father is a doctor?"

[Conchita]

Sorry, Nina, your sentence isn't correct.

Alex, yours almost is: How many of you have a father who is a doctor? (Though I'd prefer 'How many of you have a doctor parent?'.

[NinaZara]

Why Conchita? I still can't get it.
