Unfortunately women’s education is devalued. It was devalued, if not prohibited, over a century ago, and we paid the price.
The problem isn’t just finding experienced teachers; it’s finding teachers who are inherently talented. In other words, they are “born teachers.” They have the right personality, charisma, intellect, etc., to conduct a classroom.
Many post-seminary girls, no matter how sweet and earnest, are not cut out for teaching. They might view it as simply an interim job before marriage, or something “respectable” in their community. I’ve watched some of them reading off their own notes from high school or some Artscroll book. They were clueless as to class age, level, composite, etc.
You get what you pay for. If you want to treat professionals like garbage, don’t complain about the amateurs you end up hiring — or the girls who end up leaving the fold because of neglect and cynicism.
