Many of the teachers at D’s school are somewhere between 25-30. This year alone she has 4 of them, and last year had 5. None have EVER spoken like that to the kids, to “be cool”, to make a point or to suggest more modest attire (and really, there are many more constructive ways to suggest that. I’d be as angry at that use of the word as any other. In fact, the school has a yearly seminar on women’s empowerment (and a boys’ seminar too). “Slut shaming” is a topic, as is general anti-bullying addressed with the entire school.
I don’t care how old the kids are in this scenario, how cool or popular the teacher is, her choice of words is unacceptable. My H and I would be in the principals office over this. D has handled her own battles for a few years now, but this language is beyond the pale.
Do I think this is a fake post? Probably not. I’ve heard of worse-a Seattle guest teacher used the “N” word with some black youth in an effort to “speak their language”. He was forced to resign. So a popular teacher trying to be cool with using “slut”? I can see it happening.
