I picked my niece up from school today and saw her with my own eyes, my sister and her husband have spoken about her in the past. IABU to think this is appropriate in a school with impressionable young children?

You don't say what age your niece is but you say "young children". Neither of my young children would notice or even think about this. More over my children have no idea what breast implants are and I'm not sure why they should?
Either way - I have a breast augmentation and I work in a professional field. Admittedly they aren't massively big so no one would really know, they were to give me confidence post pregnancies when my body changed. I did this for me, not to be attractive to men. I think that's a really shallow point of view to have.

As for the teacher in question, id say the implants aren't really the issue. It's more how she's dressing them? If she's showing too much flesh id agree that's an issue but that would be regardless of the size! Someone appropriately dressed with bigger boobs, the only issue I see is you all gawping at them!

I am not "fixated on her bust" I just think that having big fake boobs is inappropriate in an educational environment. Teachers should be teaching young children that looks don't matter, it is what is inside what counts.

Teaching used to be a vocation. I cannot imagine much of a crossover between a woman who aspires to educate and inspire young minds, and a woman who aspires to have massive boobs.

Is your niece unhappy with the teacher?

You do seem a bit fixated to be honest. What is she wearing that makes this such an issue?

What evidence do you have that this teacher is teaching children that looks are the only thing that matters?

I don’t know why you even have an “aesthetic standard,” I couldn’t give a single shit about other women’s looks, and I certainly don’t hold them to some sort of ideal that I’ve made up.

Maybe try just minding your own business

You really focus on how you think her operation is inappropriate, without acknowledging that your fixation on her bust and belief that it's ok for you to have strong, relevant opinions about it is even more inappropriate.

Why is my aesthetic standard "narrow minded" but the standard that finds women attractive if they have big fake boobs is not?

Teachers are clearly paid enough for this teacher to afford a boob job.

Nobody said that that was the standard - plenty of women don't have fake boobs and men still find them incredibly attractive (both celebrities and ordinary women)

Also my boob job was £6495, hardly a massive sum for someone on a decent teaching salary

“Because teachers are supposed to be above all that” Firstly, they are smart enough to know that boob size has no impact on teaching ability, and secondly, they don’t get paid nearly enough to bother to aspire to your misguidedly narrow aesthetic standards. One goal of education is to teach students critical thinking. Weighing arguments, examining evidence, and verifying facts. Then making their own decisions. In no way will boob size impair the discernment of a student who is capable of critical thinking.

Who says? Since when does plastic in your body make you a less worthwhile teacher? So she was great until last summer then god breast implants and she's some sort of disgrace? Idiots the lot of you.

I feel very sorry for the children you come in contact with, imagine your niece thinking her worth is dependent on whether or nice she chooses to change her body. She wants to be a teacher but Auntie Dickhead says I'll be shit at it because I want bigger tits.

This wins the sexist misogynist twat post of the day award. 🥇

Someone starts a pearl clutching "won't someone think of the children" thread about the supposedly inappropriate physical appearance of a teacher and I'm the misogynist ?

Ilovelurchers · 30/03/2026 19:48

OP, do you object to fake boobs in all people? Moms, for example? As they are the main role models for their kids.

If you do, at least your argument makes sense (tho it's a weird stance to adopt in my opinion).

Wouldn't have a boob job myself, but I find it impossible to care if others choose one. It's harms nobody.

Ilovelurchers · 30/03/2026 19:42

Who are the 9% of people who thinks OP has a point? Almost one in ten readers think teachers need to be small breasted?

As someone who went to an "all boys" grammar school, 16 year old me would beg to differ...😀

Clearly the OP won't be back now that everybody has (rightly) told her how completely and utterly judgemental she is.

I had a boob job four years ago, because I lost too much weight after a breakup and ended up with what looked like two deflated balloons - I did it for me and to improve my confidence, not to entice men, or because I'm vain or superficial.

I might not work with kids but I do work in a professional career and have a PhD... luckily those around me care about my ability to do my job, rather than the size and shape of my breasts!

I had an ex who had a boob job. Trust me, she was the gayest woman I ever was with. The last thing she wanted was to attract a man. I asked her when she got them done and she wanted to be more proportional. She had very wide hips and originally none existent top. She did it for her confidence.

Naïve remark. Have you ever met any teenage boys?

Still doesn’t mean breast size is an indicator of teaching ability.

“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.”

What is the actual point of your comments?
To highlight teenage boys look a boobs? Not the point of thread at all but okay 🤷‍♀️

Well 16 year old you was a perv.
The size of a woman’s breasts doesn’t impact on her ability to teach. That’s a fact.

I train teachers - that’s my job. I know what makes a good teacher and it’s not the size of her tits.

I can sympathise. No one wants to see a page 3 girl teaching their children do they @OonaStubbs
I’m assuming the teacher is wearing very revealing clothes?

I bet she has a nightmare of a job every time she's at the white board doing sums trying to do that twisty pose to get her bum AND tits both on view at the same time. 🤣🤣

Perhaps you and your family would be more comfortable with the children attending a faith based school, taught by nuns?

As a child, as a parent, and as a member of the equivalent of a school's Board of Governors, I never expected teachers to 'be above all that', to not take an interest in their body and their relationships. They're human beings with lives outside the school gates, and like everybody else, their body is their own, not community property.

If my children or partner had come home gossiping about a teacher's body in such a fashion, they'd have got short shrift, reminded of the above, and that they have absolutely no right to police a person's body, including their teacher's.

They're mammary glands. So, they have increased in size. What of it? I'm sure the nipples are covered. I'm sure she can still teach just as effectively as she could before. Her boob size says nothing about her, and other peoples inability to refrain from gossip and commentary says much about them, and none of it favourable.

And just like that teacher's boob size, if people wish to continue this thread and comment upon it, there ain't a thing you can do about it.
