maternity leave is four weeks in some places.
and yes it wreaks havoc with some years but there are limits to what can be asked of/expected from women.
as far as your next point, you’re playing the word twisting game again.
I said: If they cannot commit to a year of teaching, they have no business teaching!
you decided it translates to:”If you look at getting married as selfish…”
and
“call a woman who wants to get married uncommitted to the other responsibilities in her life.”
and
“disallowing teachers from getting married “
there is zero correlation. be committed to dating and getting married, it is the ratzon of Hashem, but DO NOT start a school year if you don’t think you can find a way to finish it, it is a tremendous lack of commitment. There are girls who have found a way to finish the year, there are girls who were honest enough to understand that they should take on a different role if they couldn’t commit to the year. those girls will be real, quality teachers.
and i hate to break it to you – that pool of good teachers will be just fine without teachers like that.
