well, we've got to come to a choice with this - either we accept this is ok (and perhaps the boundaries could be blurred a little...), or we need to stop putting introverted women that came into themselves in their 20s in these kinds of situations.

24/15 is pushing it. you'll see 24/17 at any random trip to the mall. it's really not a strange thing. it's never been a strange thing.

one thing you could do is increase the educational requirements to get a teaching job. maybe teachers should have masters degrees.

but i don't see how you can expect anything different when you put 23 or 24 year old teachers in a senior high school classroom. that's like putting dogs in a room and locking the door.
