Teachers strip for nudie calendar
Filed under: Day Care & Education
Remember that teacher you had a crush on back in school? Too bad this calendar wasn't around back then -- you wouldn't have had to rely so much on your adolescent imagination.
Some UK educators thought it'd be "a bit of fun" to pose for a calendar in the "100% Real" series promoted by babesandboys.com (I wouldn't follow that link at the office, by the way). But while the teachers involved in the sexy shoot figured it'd be low key and under the radar, the calendar was instead picked up by Virgin Megastore (a UK retail giant), and is flying off the shelves. Now students and parents around the country are about to see a decidedly different side of their instructors.
I'm not sure how I'd feel if my kid's teacher was photographed in provocative poses while wearing some lacy g-string. What she does outside of the classroom isn't any of my business -- but wouldn't this affect her ability to maintain order with the students? In any case, it'd sure make parent/teacher conferences a little awkward.

Jenn said...I voted "No." If they pose for pictures at some point prior to becoming teachers (for instance, if a nudie photo from 10 years previous suddenly shows up on the internet!), that's a different story. Or if the pictures are not entirely nude (I've seen some very nice calendars and photo collections that while sexy didn't really reveal anything), that might be OK.
But I don't see it is at all possible for a teacher who has posed for a nude photo can keep her students' (especially teenage male students!) attention on their classwork.
I suppose it also depends on context -- this is a calendar highly likely to be seen by the students!

Joy said...I would hardly call what I saw as "underwear". I may just be old fashioned but my undies don't look like that nor would I have wanted my boys to see one of their teachers like that. Call me a prude or whatever you'd like but teachers (in my opinion) shouldn't do things like this. It was the profession they chose and they have our young minds in their hands. I agree totally with Jen, if it happened in the past you have to deal with it but NOT while in the teaching profession.
