Quote:
Fourteen-year-old Saigha Vincent was filming the teacher dance-off at the Gym Riot spirit assembly last Wednesday for Grade 9 to 12 students at the Winnipeg high school.

The routine began with the female teacher, sporting pigtails, seated on a chair, her legs spread, hips gyrating. Bumping beats played in the background and the male teacher approached between her legs, his hips swiveling to the beat.

Less than five seconds into the routine, the Grade 9 student and her friends went from giggling to staring at their sometimes very strict instructors in disbelief.

�At first we were laughing and then it was like �Oh that's a little too far.'�

But it went even further.

I know you don't need to be a genius to be a teacher, but I am surprised at the stupidity of some.

It's just one more reason why the state should not have anything to do with education. Perhaps these 'teachers' should concentrate more on teaching reading, writing and 'rithmetic rather than entertaining their students with lap dances.

In the local schools where I now substitute they are teaching grade five kids about the ins and outs of female orgasm (pun intended). The Winnipeg lap dance is just a logical extension. The sooner the government schools are sold off and privatized the better.

Yes, the private education teen age boys receive in the hands of priests is so much better. Not to mention the effect of private jails--judges sending kids to juvenile prison so the judges can earn their bribes. Yes, privatizing institutions is a much better approach.

Why does every thread have to turn into inane libertarian bullshit about how evil the state is? The state didn't mandate these teachers being jackasses. They're simply jackasses naturally. They would continue to be jackasses if they were employed in the private sector. Jackassery happens in the private sector all the time. Imagine all the sexual harassment cases that occur in private work places alone. Most people don't treat that as a strike against the concept of private enterprise, because they recognize it simply people being people. Well the same is true in public work. Two people making judgment errors are simply two people making judgment errors.

Having seen the video, I don't see the big fuss. I would discipline the teachers, and find out what the person filming the video was smoking (is it that hard to hold a camera straight?). The lap-dance was in poor taste and went too far, but it doesn't look like people are shocked in the video -- they're laughing and having fun looking at something a little outrageous, particularly since it's the guy who's doing the dance and acting silly.

One of the unfortunate things about having everything videoed and put on YouTube five minutes later is that things are taken out of context. Once people calm down and the Maude Flanders mothers stop yelling 'think of the children,' the teachers will be older and wiser, hopefully.

Since public schools no longer teach math and science, maybe the lap dance instruction will help some of the kids go on to make decent livings as strippers.

I learned Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, and Biotechnology (via a specialized course at my school) during my attendance at public school, and my school was not particularly big, well funded, or renown in any way, nor were its teachers especially talented. Anyone who can't manage the same is a degenerate mouth-breather that is boarderline unteachable, probably because of parental failure.

When I was in school, we didn't have sex ed until our freshman year in high school. Of course, our minds were already fried on an overdose of porn by then. Laughing

If a student didn't have a child or a bun in the oven by their junior year in high school, their sexuality was called into question.

And you ended up a teacher in Korea just like those of us who went to public schools in Lynchburg, where trig, physics, biotech, and geometry aren't even offered. Wink
