as i got older the female teachers definitely got younger
Ed: Typed this like a retard before
In my experience most of the young ones did elementary school. It was rare that you'd see a young teacher of either sex in High School.
I graduated over a decade ago from one of the top public schools in my state. I had 4 mid 20s female teachers, a handful of embittered lesbians, and one lesbian groomer back in 09. The thing that made the most difference was the amount of male teachers in their 30s with families, there was never a shortage of positive masculinity.
Maybe just in Texas. High School is a higher paying job, and I think for the most part they had to have master's degrees. Thus, you had the teachers with more tenure getting the upper grades, since they all wanted to get paid more. Not well, mind you, but more.
It's fitting then. I mean even college has regreessed into child-care in most of their degrees.
Did they, though? You have a pretty skewed perception of age when you're under 10.
You can't tell the difference between 24 and 35 when you're a kid.
Teachers also have kids. If a teacher has a child in my class (or +-1 grade) then they're most likely not 24 when I am 10yo.
no they definitely did.
most of my teachers were either mom or grandma age. in hs there were far more younger teachers.
I want you to take a moment and consider what 'mom age' was back then.
the same age as my and my friends' moms at the time
