On a school trip, to remark on a couple of scantily clad young women walking past, to the sixth formers he’s with.

Did you overhear this?

My child did - of course I don’t know if it’s been exaggerated for effect but I don’t think so knowing my child.. and the head in question… not sure it’s my place to report it?

Male sixth formers. Comment along the lines of ‘you’ll appreciate that one day’. I’m horrified. I thought schools were meant to be tackling, not promoting misogyny…

No, that’s shocking. I hope it’s been reported

Well, if it happened he's playing fast and loose with his career. I'd say it's unlikely, it's not 1973.

If he said thats inappropriate attire then that would be fine. Or I like their jumper. If not then no not acceptable.

Yeah that’s not great

What was the remark? What sex were the sixth formers? The latter obviously doesn't really make any difference. More just curious.
