Teacher exposing breast.

[bamboostalks]

This sounds bizarre and I think it is really. Dsd is in year 6 and they are having the sex ed programme. Anyway, this week it was all about pregnancy and birth. The teacher has just returned from maternity leave and imo went into way too much detail for 10 and 11 year olds(discussing stitches etc. dsd was very intrigued, arriving home with a lot of questions!!) but most astonishingly showed them her breast to explain how the baby feeds. Now this is nothing new to dsd per se who has seen me bf all year but I was amazed. Dh wanted to go in and complain today and I received a couple of phone calls asking me to sign a petition "We think that this teacher needs further training etc." Quite moderate in tone really. AIBU or was this teacher totally wrong?

I agree its not usual or something most teachers would dream of doing...but looking at it another way - if more people did take this teachers stance the world would have a less bizarre attitude to sex. Blimey in Africa women walk around with their boobs out everywhere. Its just an indication of how hypocritical we are. Its ok to have magazines like NUTS next to Dennis the Menace in the newsagents but hey no real life biology lessons!!!

If it's true it is an utterly bonkers thing to have done.

I can't really believe that a teacher would just get out her breast. I'm not a prude and bf for ages, but getting a tit doesn't come that easily - it's not something you just take out without thinking is it?

is this the school?

oops I meant African tribes,,,not town centres or anything

we'll know if this is for real within 24-48 hours if it hits the redtops!

"real life biology lessons!!! "

Now they do sound as though they would be interesting!

Micro - would you be happy for the male teachers at school to walk around in the scuddy, with all their dangly bits of show, on the basis that somewhere in another country that is normal attire?

well, that lesson went 'tits-up' then

If this is not a wind-up then of course the teacher has committed gross misconduct and will be rightly sacked without notice.

Actually I didn't see any naked breasts in Africa.

'Gross misconduct'. God, I find this thread really depressing. I hope it's a wind-up now.

and where do teachers draw the 'reality' line then?

do kids need to see how semen arrives!, what makes sex an
enjoyable pastime for adults? what period blood looks like?

load of bollocks!

"Real Life biology lessons" - dd and friends came out of Y6 sex educ feeling highly short-changed.

In spite of all pre-lesson teacher and parent chats, they were still banking on being able to watch Real Human Sex

This has to be a wind-up. I don't want a tribal school, thank you.

Me Fio - me!!!!

No but my great powers of empathy tell me that I would NOT CARE if this happened a few years down the line at my dd's school.

How is showing your breast to a classfull of 11 year olds not professional misconduct????

A petition seems rather immature to be honest.

babybore, oh yes you will

Me too Fio - and I'd be appalled if he came home with this tale (especially if it turned out he was making things up )

babybore, would it be ok if your GP got his penis out to show any of your dc to help him desseminate (sic) information???
