Wow!  Love this!  I should totally print in off, frame it and hang in up somewhere in the house!

I think I came across something similar before but forgot to save it.  :fryingpan:

Homeschooling is the only way to go in this advent of Antichrist.

I would say most of the rules still apply to homeschooling mothers.

A full ten hours when I’m required to be at home?  Where do I sign up?  Sounds great unless I’m required to use the time for teaching or going to Zoom meetings!  In 1915, my guess is that the teacher could use most of those ten hours to do things like tend to personal hygiene, get sufficient sleep, eat breakfast and supper, do her laundry, clean her room, engage in prayer and spiritual reading, and relax or pursue a hobby like knitting, sewing, drawing, painting, playing a musical instrument…. She was not expected to be available round the clock for parents and students.

Not entirely sure what's wrong with ice cream store :laugh2:
And now I understand why some catholic school teachers in the past would remain single in their whole life... It's like a religious vocation without vows! ::) Also it doesn't make any sense for a girl who wants to get married to become a teacher if she's obliged to follow those rules, since most would be married before 24 and that didn't leave them much time to be a teacher after all that education, and then she's not even allowed to enter courtship. And I feel bad for today's female teachers tbh, how they need to deal with a whole bunch of students all day long when pregnant.

I don't think going to the ice cream store was the issue.  They just didn't want their teachers "loitering" there.  😅

Back in the day people were VERY protective of who taught their children and so the school boards tried to make sure there was NOTHING that could be said or used against one of their teachers.  I remember watching a movie based on the time in the 1960's and how if a teacher was found to be with child without being married she could never have a career as a teacher ever again.
