In reply to the discussion: Tell me a joke. [View all]Jenoch
(7,720 posts)62. My mother was a fifth and sixth grade teacher.
She and her best friend who taught in the next classroom discovered that the male teachers, whether married or single, earned more money than the female teachers, whether they were married or single. They went to the school board and demanded equality and they got it.
You probably won't be surprised to learn this was back in the day when the desks were on wooden runners like a sleigh and there were inkwells. She was just 23 when this happened. I think it was in 1953.
That best friend introduced my mom to her boyfriend's brother. They married those brothers, my dad and my uncle. My 83 year old father is the only one left.
