Been a while

Well, it's been a while since posting something. What's happened over the last month in the teaching world? Things are still pretty crazy here. The weather is getting warmer so the girl's clothes are getting skimpier. It's probably just me but it seems that every year it's worse.

I remember when I was a 13-14 year old boy attending St. Luke's Catholic School. We all wore uniforms and the girls were pretty conservative, except for the pants that they had the option to wear. But overall the girls were modestly dressed.

Today in our public schools it is absolutely outrageous. I don't know how a 13-14 year old boy can even concentrate on his work, let alone prevent whiplash! And many of the boys don't concentrate. They are too busy taking in the sights. Honestly, I don't understand how educators can allow this, even though they are all women.

Recently, I saw a female teacher with a 7th grade girl in the office telling the counselor that the girl had to put a shirt over her...shirt! Well I guess that's what they call it, although it was more akin to a camisole that a woman might wear to bed. This girl was duly escorted to the counselor's office where she was given a shirt to put on. I thought to myself, "If I were to have said something about the girl's clothes I probably would have been out of a job by the end of the day!

But even though this one case was taken care of in the right way (except that her father should have been contacted), there are still dozens of immodestly dressed girls on the campus. It is a real crime that all men and boys on the campus are supposed to act like this is normal. No one is really supposed to say anything, and for the most part no one does. Again, what am I doing in this profession?
