Scrunch bum leggings while teaching children.

[thatisnotyours]

There's a discussion going on about this at an Australian parenting site and I'm surprised at some of the comments tbh. I was wondering what MN thinks.

www.everybump.com.au/community/topic/7784-scrunch-butt-leggings-when-teaching-children/

I don't think that they're inappropriate at all and recoil at the idea of policing what women (especially young women) wear.

YABU: it's not appropriate for an educational setting.

YANBU: it's not a problem

100% agree.

I think everyone from my Australian forum is over here now reading fresh threads, lol. It’s gone very quiet all of a sudden. Show yourselves Aussies!

I don't see the issue, and I don't think it'll damage children. Leggings are tight anyway, I'd rather my kid see a scrunch bum legging than someone with the cheap leggings that shows their underwear.

This is bizarre. Everyone has a butt, so what’s the issue with form fitting trousers? It’s like policing women with larger chests from wearing jumpers. I don’t get it at all. If children are objectifying their teachers, then that’s the issue not the clothing.

I agree with you OP. The Victorian days have long since passed.

They really won't ! They're absolutely awful ! Will go the way of every slightly odd fashion , in years people will be saying 'do you remember those awful leggings we used to wear'

We have a smart casual dress code at the school I work in and the leggings wouldn't fit with that. We aren't allowed to wear any sort of sporty leggings. Fine for a Pe/sorts type role though

Never heard of these, they're really horrible, wouldn't be wearing them anywhere. Looking forward to the thread getting in the Daily Mail though.

A hungry bum!😂

Shit, didn’t think of the Daily Mail.

Really? they will love this,complete with picture of the offending garment. Or maybe Loose Women?

You ‘recoil at the idea of policing what women (especially young women) wear’ yet you started a voting AIBU yo ask people for their views on the appropriateness of a particular style of garment?

Also being discussed at this Australian forum (the one where gender critical discussion isn't banned):

Who would have thought that hungry bum leggings would unite the forum worlds in chat?

These look really weird but you know each to their own. PE teacher fine, History teacher - bit of a weird choice.

Probably not for a school setting but the op in that thread is telling about uni students at an activity. Can't see the issue tbh

I find it such a bizarre fashion. No-one would dress like that if it wasn't 'in'. They would get destroyed by their peers.

Yet because it's fashion then it seems to be compulsory to wear clothes that make you look almost like you're not actually wearing any clothes.

If children are objectifying their teachers, then that’s the issue not the clothing.
🤦🏻‍♀️
Forgive the shit pun but how utterly ass backwards is this.

We’re blaming kids now, for the behaviour of grown adults who should know better? Perhaps in a teaching role we should accept that you don’t get to indulge your every last whim when it comes to clothing? Perhaps children need appropriate guidance from suitable role models so that appropriate interactions are taught and modelled at a young age?

Yeah it's a bit weird

Our dress code prohibits leggings of any sort except when worn as hosiery. I.e. with a skirt.

PE teachers wear school issued kit. Either longish shorts or loose tracksuit trousers, although it is true the school kit was purchased partly because of the length of some of the younger staff's shorts.

Each to their own, but I think they are horrid.

Not appropriate. I don’t think anyone should wear clothes to work that show the exact shape of your bum crack. I do see women wearing them these days but they looks so uncomfortable. And why would anyone want everyone to see their bum crack at work. Aren’t they self conscious?

Maybe they are aimed at women who think that their bum crack is their best feature? 🤔

If women get to choose and it's always the fault of objectors for objectifing them, where is the line? Is it OK to go to teach in a crop top? Bikini? Underwear? Nothing at all?

Had to google scrunch butt leggings…wow they are shit!

Probably not appropriate for teaching, no.
