Sorry, much earlier. When women were encouraged to become more like males and move into business we started a change that now results in teachers being some of the least educated and caring people. Back in the '60's as feminism took hold, women's rights arrived. It was no longer meaningful to center life around nurturing a family, instead they were to enter the dog-eat-dog business world. Many did and it has benefitted some businesses. OTOH, the best and brightest decided on business and businesses were eager to hire them to build inclusivity. Never mind that history major in a woman hired but a similar man became less employable. In time, the quality of teachers declined. Not to say some brightest women are still highly motivated to attend to children in school, bless them, but they are now many fewer compared to days of old. Men rarely have the patience for children, not all, of course, but historically our best teachers have been women who are biologically attuned to nurture.
Business loves women (except at the top). For the same work they can pay 85% less. This exploitation removed the brightest women from the classroom. The promise of feminist freedom has helped business, perhaps at the expense of the children. Worse, some women imagine nurture is beneath them. The lower birthrate eventually will correct the future.
Very much on the money. A very distinguished and well-read person I know, who got degrees at Ivy League universities, frequently told me he learned everything he really needed to know (the three R's) at PS 117 in New York. This was in the 1950s, and his gratitude to the ladies that taught him has only grown with the years.
And it's true that business adores women. Not just for cost-effectiveness or for the competencies they bring to the table, but also because most businesses are run by men. And, who can deny it, men generally love having women around. As we see every day in the metoo pages.
IMHO the best stock brokers are women. They are often less emotional about beating their peers and typically are a bit more cautious about prospects. My experience, however, is really limited to a few money managers. I don't have that much money but enough to rely on managers along with the fund that owns everything.
