The solution is not to call morot rebbetzins, which implies being the wife of a rabbi, but to give morot the same respect, dignity, pay, and opportunity for advancement as rabbis. Within a day school setting, morot and rabbis should be paid on the same scale for years of study and years of teaching experience, because they are doing the same vital work. Both morot and rabbis should have equal opportunity to advance in authority, including to head of school. If it is the custom of the community to rise for rabbis, they should show the same respect for morot. And both should be addressed in the same way--not Rabbi Last-name and Morah First-name, but with the same familiarity/respect to both.
