From another comment...

"This teacher is being portrayed as very jealous woman. A woman who is jealous of young sixteen-year-olds that can get pregnant. YEAH thats something to be jealous over being pregnant and sixteen. This movie is just not realistic!!"

She's jealous because she and her husband are infertile. Not because she wants to be 16 and pregnant. Not being able to conceive and have children when you want to is very traumatic. Especially as a woman. It makes you feel like you're broken or faulty. Women are "supposed" to be able to get pregnant. Her jealousy is reasonable, whether or not it may seem like it on the surface. I see people getting pregnant all the time. By mistake. Or even purposeful pregnancies, where they're terrible parents. And it always makes me angry. Because people who actually want to have kids who physically can't have to jump through hoops and pay out the *ss to do it. While you can be 14, poor as dirt, and have a kid just because you have a uterus. It's ridiculous.
