Was it wrong for my gym teacher to make this comment?
Question Posted Monday February 4 2013, 6:04 pm
so I have this gym teacher in high school who is young, (younger than 30 I think) really pretty and good looking and red headed, and she teaches physical education and Health and so we are doing the swimming unit and while in the pool she was walking around and she then said to me and some of my friends later when we were walking back to the locker room to change that she likes the swimming unit the most because she likes to look at all the male students without their shirts on in the water and it gives her lots to look at and she hopes you work hard so they all look nice for her. I have zero problem with what she said, but if some kid who was around me decides to go and cry to someone about it, will she get in trouble? I think it is fine and a natural comment to make
It's inappropriate for a teacher to sexualize their students, male or female. Not a fireable offence, necessarily, but definitely unprofessional. That comment was not well thought through, and she should know better.
