Syag, you also said:
me: I said that if you are more worried about yourself than the class of girls you are teaching…
and:
it’s all about shidduchim. to heck with the kids…
It’s a matter of priorities. I don’t think you’d say the same thing if a teacher wouldn’t commit to stay on even if a family member became ill ch”v and she had to take care of her/him.
Because I think marriage is a high priority, I don’t think a girl is in any way unqualified if she teaches and dates, even if the result would be leaving.
Squeak, if the finances weren’t an issue, I’d agree with you in theory. Another point to consider, though: if they didn’t hire single teachers, those young women would find other jobs, and there would be a smaller pool of married women available to teach.
