My wife interviewed at a school in very north utah county and was told she wasn't the right age to fit in with the grade level team.

The principal said, "I like to have an older teacher with a young teacher". My wife is in her late 30's but just starting in the work force. He told her she didn't fit his age criteria for the team.

Illegal. We should have joined the lawsuit.

I would think the principals in Alpine District are making hiring decisions based on best teaching practice. I know I want my children to be taught by teachers who like them, know how to teach and then make sure my child is learning. Could the principal have simply hired the best person to work with children -- yours and mine?
