> Were men better teachers than women of today?

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.

Or simply ... qualified?

No, overqualified. At least in comparison to their pay.

I 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?

Which, 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.

Quite 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.
