@kitoconnell @Chron 19 YEAR teacher, not 19 year OLD teacher. Makes a difference.

@kitoconnell @Chron I know many states are relaxing teacher standards & allowing people with just HS degrees or GEDs to sub, so it is becoming plausible that there might be a 19 year old teacher at some point, but I hope not.

Makes no difference. The whole "19 years" should've been omitted.
