Money. They can pay them next to nothing since the SSPX provides boarding.

It seems the younger ones would be less likely to be infected by liberal ideas than long-time (or certified/degreed) teachers.
Also, younger teachers are more similar in temperament to children than old ladies, so young teachers are better for young children.
teacher either finds a husband or goes back to live with parents after a few years
Or enters religious life.
1) get women in prime child bearing age into a dead-end liberal arts program (for some women who weren’t taught this stuff by their parents, maybe the degree could be helpful, but I don’t think girls should be going to college regardless)
The SSPX Sisters, too, require at least a 2 year college degree. I knew someone who almost became one; but she wanted to enter religious life immediately, not delay it by obtaining a college degree.
There is something about women who teach other people’s kids for a living that makes them not desire a husband.
Prior to circa 1917, female teachers had to be single.
Her becoming a teacher is a good way to push a “single” vocation onto your daughter.
Maybe. It could also help her discover her vocation (or delay pursuing her vocation…).
