I want peoples' opinion on sexual harassment. Are the rules too strict or not? Any suggestions for changes? I also want suggestions and opinions about a personal situation. I want to know how to deal with the science teacher at my school.
In class: 1) He suggests, when a mixed group of students leave the class to get something their locker (for instance), that they will be "fooling around" in the halls. 2)When several girls volenteered to take out the equipment for an experiment, he said "Boys, when you want something done, always get a woman to do it."
Outside class:1) He often fiddles or stokes girls' hair when they are talking to him 2)Never remembers our names, but calls us honey, sweetie, or sweetheart. 3) On the last day of school, one of my friends gave him her yearbook to sign, and he ended up kissing the top of her head.
How should we deal with this?

File a report. That is inappropriate behavior for anyone, especially a teacher who has a sort of control over a student.

I think the in-class stuff isn't that big of a deal, but touching girls' hair and kissing their heads is totally and completely out of line.

I have to agree....in-class is just him being a dick...outside of class is a whole different thing....

Kit Kat, I say if he is a hottie, go for it! Sounds like an easy "A" to me. Besides, and older, experienced man can teach you things and make your body feel things you never thought possible. I speak from experience!

Dresia!! What kind of attitude is that?? Isn't it *against the law*?? Sleeping with your teachers ia a bad, bad, bad idea!

Dresia, he has two grown-up daughters, and besides, I'm not going to try for "an easy "A""
