Can a teacher make a reference to calling me g*y withot getting in trouble?

Question

ok so at school last thursady me and this kid sat beside eachother. Me and him moved down from honors classes into regular, so we are "above" the other kids level of thinkng. so everytime we hear something that is said that has nothing to do with out subject (happens a lot in that class) we look at eachother and smirk. We dont make a big deal about it we dont interupt, just a little inside thing. Well on thursday my teacher was yelling at some other kids telling them that they need to be quiet abou talking about drugs, so me and him do the smirk thing. no one sees us but her. she looks at us and says " i dont know whats going on between you guys, its like you guys are dating" and then a fellow student was wondering what she was talking about and siad "what" and she followed up on her story by saying well there always looking at eachother and laughing. she never apologized to me. is there any way she can get in trouble. i already went to the counsler and they said she needs to apologize

Answer 1

Being "above" everyone in the class, you should be able to take a little ribbing.  She did not make a definitive statement on your sexual orientation.  She commented on your actions, which certainly distract her.  Chances are that other students have seen the same interaction between you boys.

Being above everyone else you should be making positive contributions to the class, not being distractions.

Answer 2

I believe she can get in trouble. Even if it was a joke or not, i believe people are taking that stuff more seriously these days. But i believe its also up to you and your friend to get them in trouble, but first id talk to the teacher.

Answer 3

Apparently she has noticed your little "inside looks"  before and is annoyed about them.  It is pretty obnoxious, you  know, that you consider yourselves so much above everyone else.  You were, after all, moved down from honors, and even if you were brighter than the others, no one likes to have other people smirking about them.  She didn't say anything sexual, just implied that you seem to have some kind of a "special" connection.  Since you already went to the counselor, you have already done what you could do.  If she is told to apologize, or realizes that what she said was hurtful, she might apologize, but know that her comment was the equivalent of saying, "You two are like an old married couple, finishing each other's sentences."  It doesn't mean that she thinks you are having s*x.

Answer 4

What she said was abusive to you.

The counselor doesn't sound like she's doing anything about it.

If you really want to pursue it, have your parents request a meeting with the principal and the teacher in question.

I GUARANTEE you that after that meeting, the teacher won't DARE pick on you again,unless she's nutz. Trust me, teachers don't want the bosses having to deal with this kind of pressure from parents.

Answer 5

You know...what's your goal here?  Want her to get fired or what?  You guys are acting like asses, and when YOU get busted for it you turn all litigious about it.  Look it up if you don't know what that means.  And BTW, being in honors English is not the same as being in AP English  get over yourself.  And start behaving and quit with the smirks  It's a jerky thing to do and quite immature.

And PS  why is calling or referring to someone as "g*y"a bad thing unless YOU think it is.  My nephew is g*y and he wouldn't have a problem with this.  Better check your own predjudices before you speak in this world.  Some of us  know more than you.
