Something of a generalization there, Steeljack. I know of many unmarried women (apart from my wife) who have brought up children singlehandedly and made a fantastic job of it. One friend of ours raised her son entirely on her own - he's a sound lad who has just finished university and is set for a good career. I also know of married couples who aren't fit to look after hamsters.
But the fact is that this teacher is married. She's also, apparently, very good at her job. But because she's doesn't fit the conventional mould, she's being persecuted for it. Presumably, if her interests were cake baking and flower arranging, there'd be no problem. I'm beginning to think I'm in a "Life On Mars"-type scenario and I've gone back to 1907!
