YES!!!
y daughter lost years (yes, years!) of learning because of this. I once suggested this same thing to some people who were horrified!! It went something like this:
me: If they cannot commit to a year of teaching, they have no business teaching!
them: What!? Chas V Shalom! Are you saying a girl shouldn’t date? Are you saying a girl should have a 7 month engagement?
me: I said that if you are more worried about yourself than the class of girls you are teaching, don’t teach while you are dating! or don’t teach at all!
them:What?! Chas V Shalom! well then what else should they do? Should they just not work and have no money?
me: So you are trying to tell me that girls are teaching because they have nothing else to do with their time until they get married?
them: What?! Chas V Shalom! what a terrible thing to say! These girls are completely committed to these children!
me: Committed to the children? well then they shouldn’t start out the year unless they can commit to finishing it…
they never got it. it’s all about shidduchim. to heck with the kids, their stability, their sense of committment, their trust in their teachers committment to them…
go ahead, tell me I’m exaggerating, chas v shalom
