Do you think this was inappropriate? *EDIT*?

Question

We were watching Disturbia in high school, study hall. The hot girl was flirting with the guy. She was like, all over him. He was nervous, and stammering. My teacher said "She wants to grab his joystick!"

My mom wants to write the principal, I told her it is no big deal.

The youngest student in his class was a 13 year old female (me), and there were freshman through seniors.

*IT IS PG-13. I AM 13. I AM LEGALLY ALLOWED TO WATCH IT*

Answer 1

Yes,thats totally innapropriate,and your mum is quite within her rights to write to the principle. This teacher could move on to even more innapropriate things if they feel they've got away with this.

Answer 2

hahahaha lol that is so funny!!!!!! but i don't thinks it's much of a big deal it was innapropriate but i think your at the age were you just laugh and forget it. wait a second? how are you 13 and in highschool I'm a sevie and 13

Answer 3

It may be legal, but it's inappropriate, and the teacher should have had more sense than to show this to the class or to make that comment.

Answer 4

Every part of this is illegal! To start, it's illegal to show disturbia at school! The school makes money by you being there, and that prevents them from showing you disturbia while you're there unless they paid commercial copyright permission, which I'm sure they didn't. Second, you shouldn't even be watching something like that, especially pg-13 in school- it's a waste of tax dollars to entertain kids with something that is already too inappropriate to show at school. And finally, your teacher, who has already made some really great decisions, says that. Yea, you're mom needs to write a letter and visit the principal.  

Answer 5

Why are you watching a movie in study hall at all?  Shouldn't you be studying?  And if it's only like the first day of school, you should at least be shown something semi-educational.  And the comment?  Totally inappropriate.  I'm a high school teacher, and I cannot imagine saying or hearing something like that in a classroom.  Is this a first year teacher attempting to be "friends" with the students?  If so, he has a lot to learn.  I would report it. He needs a good talking-to before something even more inappropriate occurs.

Answer 6

Meh. Teachers are people too. Your mom shouldn't write to the principal. While I don't think it was appropriate, I also don't think this is typical behavior for your teachers.

The real problem with teachers is that people think of them as some sort of shell of a human who does nothing but teach. Your teacher probably just wanted to be thought of as having a sense of humor.

My teacher today was demonstrating how to send emails through the new campus system. So he address his email "Dear Rat B@astard, "

Sure, I'm in college, and I thought it was funny, but some other students didn't. Teacher can't always be perfect.  

Answer 7

What she was doing was sending a message,in a covert way, to the boys in the class that she sexually available..in a covert way that she thinks no one would pick up on except her target audience,  the young boys.  Did she choose that show?---This is an example of the problem with liberals running our schools ,they don't know right from wrong and don't care.  This teacher needs to be reprimanded and fined..  Show your mother this mail and see if she agrees---------------------------------s... what i mean?"dear rat b*****d"   out of control!!!

Answer 8

I am a lot older than you and I really wouldn't want anyone who was teaching me to feel so comfortable with me that they felt that they could say anything - it is like the saying "It is not me, you are icky" - meaning the teacher is icky

Answer 9

Inappropriate; A teacher is a teacher, not a friend or not an uncle who has perverted jokes (yeah,creepy). I always disliked teachers who said stuff like this to be "cool" with their students. (not like joystick is even cool?) He is speaking about a girl wanting to grab a guys p***s. Sexual, and inappropriate, whether you know what it means or not, its not a teachers place.

Answer 10

Well I'd say the joystick comment is inappropriate, but Disturbia is okay if that's the rating. I think the teacher might have been trying to be "cool" and "hip", maybe. Or he's just an idiot and doesn't value his job.
