Teachers, Delete Your Naturist Pics - Even Bikini Photos Can Get You Fired Well

| Description | It appears like just about every week we hear a minumum of one story in the news of a teacher (typically young and female) being fired and / or detained for participating in inappropriate behaviour (usually sexual) with a pupil. Statistically speaking, it shouldn't be any surprise a teacher caught in a compromising position with a student is female. Based on the National Center for Education Statistics, about three quarters of all public school teachers are female. Teaching has, like nursing and additional areas, long been considered a female profession. Which is why I very nearly passed over the narrative of Olivia Sprauer, a young, female teacher in Florida who was fired a couple of weeks ago for allegedly improper conduct. Ms. Sprauer's case, however, is distinct. She had not been fired for inappropriate interaction with a pupil. Olivia Sprauer Bikini Photographs Ms. Sprauer obviously understood she was taking a risk by being photographed in skimpy swimwear. Employment contracts for many classes of public employees feature actions clauses which dictate that behavior beyond work hours can be considered when rating general job performance. Teachers are (possibly unfairly) more impacted by these conduct clauses, since their primary audience is kids and it is assumed that children will be more negatively impacted by alleged unethical behaviour on the part of their teachers than fellow adults would. Apart from parents, the adults that children spend most of their time with are teachers. As a parent of two young kids in public school, I understand (and expect) that teachers have a role model element with their jobs. But I can also categorically state that if among my children's teachers (who are both female) did some bikini modeling on the side, I'dn't be bothered at all. As naturists, we recognize that morality is an enormous grey area, and community standards vary from state to state and region to region. So perhaps we're not as disturbed by bikini photographs in Nyc as they are in Florida (oh, the irony!). Though I believe we can all concur that the first thing we desire from our teachers is competence. Did Ms. Sprauer's outside-of-work photo sessions impair her ability to teach? If she had been surreptitiously photographed wearing a bikini at a public playa, would that have now been unethical actions? Or was it simply a problem that she modeled and got paid because of it? As long as she was efficiently facilitating learning in the classroom, what does it matter? Actions policies are integral to many occupations, and can be especially significant in an educational environment. My wife has been a professor at a number of different universities, and most higher education institutions prohibit relationships between professors/staff and pupils although the students are usually over the age of 18 and hence legally adults. Difficulties of favoritism and academic dishonesty can arise as a consequence of professor-student relationships, which could be extremely damaging to the learning environment. Younger kids are certainly impressionable. Would I want my children being educated by someone who uses illegal drugs, participates in prostitution, or makes porn movies even if that action didn't materially affect the classroom environment? It's a difficult issue, and I could make arguments for and against that teacher continuing within their place. In the instance of Olivia Sprauer, is the simple act of being photographed almost naked adequate grounds for dismissal? Or could it be an overreaction driven by society's tendency to equate nudity with sex? The battle continues.
