I went to public schools in middle class neighborhoods in California from the late sixties to the early eighties. My teachers were largely excellent. I think that was due to cultural and economic factors - teaching was considered a profession for idealistic folks to go into at the time and the spread between rich and poor was less dramatic in the 50s and 60s (when my teachers were deciding their professions). So the culture made it attractive and economics made it possible. Another critical thing we seem to have lost.

It was the tail end of when smart women had few intellectually stimulating options and teacher was a decent choice.

For hundreds of years, women could have amazing opportunities by pursuing a religious vocation, get fantastic education in their religious order, and then enjoy a fulfilling life-long ministry in health care, education, social services, etc. All her material and spiritual needs would be provided by her community. For life. Not merely until retirement. Until she died.

Furthermore, young lay women could start out as teachers, which is a fantastic way to learn how to care for young children, and when such a seasoned teacher would eventually marry and begin her childbearing years, she was quite well-prepared to care for children of her own.

Nowadays, fewer and fewer women know how to be homemakers, mothers, or wives, and so they just want to go straight into STEM and/or "girlboss" type stuff. Any women who actually wish to care for children, or educate them, is perceived as weak and reactionary.

It appears you think that giving women the same opportunities as men is a bad thing.

AStonesThrow has, err, strong opinions on this kind of thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41885547

I would question the utility of engaging.

What I take from this is that you dont like reading about history much, with clear exception of overly optimistic religious texts. The religious vocation frequently got you into pretty abusive situation and the #1 expectation was "obeisance". That was what you was supposed to do, primary. Not exactly what person you are responding to is writing about.

Moreover, women never needed to start out as teachers to "be ready for childcare". The childcare expectations were much lower at the time, but amount of chores at home massively higher.
