OP is saying that teaching (at primary / secondary level) was one of the few professional jobs available to women so women teachers in that era were more likely to be overqualified.
- readthenotes1 2y agoOr simply ... qualified?
- Rhapso 2y agoNo, overqualified. At least in comparison to their pay.
- Arnt 2y agoWhich, I guess, contributes to school's problems today. Underpaying when you have many excellent applicants may be a problem for the employees, but not for the organization. If you get used to underpaying and the supply of excellent candidates dries up, the organization has a problem.
- trilbyglens 2y agoI think the point being made is that we need genius level people working in education. Literally what else is more important than forming the next generation?
- Rhapso 2y agoMaking profits this year go up!
- cmonreally123 2y agoQuite literally no. the whole argument is they were well overqualified. A women teacher of today is qualified with high likelihood a genius women of today is working in a field that suits her genius. A genius women of that time could rarely work elsewhere.
