I don't know what it is with the age thing. I'm finishing a teaching credential program, and they had some grads come back to talk to us after finishing their first year in the classroom. And the first thing that the parents ask young-looking teachers (especially women) is, "How old are you?" Like, if they're too young the parents aren't going to listen to anything they have to say.
Of course, this kind of bullshit is going to work in my favor when I get a class. Because I'm a guy and in my 40s, so the parents are going to assume I know what I'm talking about and accept my judgment. Even though I'm just a rookie like all the rest!
