The Phantom Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 13 minutes ago, Ghost Ship said: Do they invite actors in to talk about acting, or bus drivers to talk about driving a bus? Yes. Although not admittedly actors or bus drivers, we definitely had 'career day' type events. They were generally interesting jobs though, like pilots, army, archeologists etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a plastic phallus, that is in no way a sexual thing to put a condom onto. Then, as many 11 year olds do, you put it over your head and inflate it with your nose for a giggle, or, you inflate it and launch it as a slow moving dirigible at other classroom members. It does seem really peculiar to me that a teacher would unprompted be showing phalloplasty techniques to any year group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This parent said it was a teacher. Hopeless I can understand why the school wouldn’t want to make an announcement about a particular child. There are privacy issues to address too. Even if the parents are vocal on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they invite actors in to talk about acting, or bus drivers to talk about driving a bus? When I was at school they often had theatre groups in to talk about, well, theatre, industry professionals to talk about whatever industry they were part of, and the army in to talk about how to sign up to murder foreign kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's plausible that a kid asked how it works and the teacher showed them some sort of explanation I suppose? Don't often see a teacher using their personal phones in class though.

Don't often see a teacher using their personal phones in class though. Plausible, but stupid if that’s what it was. Kid gets home, “mum, guess what teacher showed me on their phone. It was disgusting…” No matter how well intentioned this would be a bad idea, and I can’t believe a teacher would do it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
