Ok, I’m Finally at a computer and can copy and paste and type better

from Hebrewbooks (I copied the part of the Mishnah)

אומר בן עזאי חייב אדם ללמד את בתו תורה שאם תשתה תדע שהזכות תולה לה ר”א אומר כל המלמד בתו תורה (כאילו) לומדה תפלות

according to Ben Azai he’s saying save your daughter by teaching them so she should know that the zchus helps her live longer, and if he didn’t teach her this she wouldn’t know it otherwise because she wouldn’t learn it on her own.

if that’s the case then she would never learn it on her own (especially since it was taught before the Gemara from mouth to mouth (Torah Shebaal Peh) so then it doesn’t matter if she was young or not

I hope I’m clearer now!
