Being a teacher can have many unexpected challenges, especially with how people see you. A middle school teacher who always dresses according to the rules and gets compliments on her outfits was reported by a parent who said that her \u201ccurvy\u201d body was distracting their son.<\/p>\n
The teacher shared her story:
\nI\u2019m a middle school teacher and this year I teach 8th grade. I have a large chest that\u2019s hard to hide. I always follow the dress code and in my 6 years of teaching, I\u2019ve never been told I broke any rules. People often compliment my outfits!<\/p>\n
My admin told me that a parent came to the school saying their son was talking about my chest at home, and they were worried I wasn\u2019t following the dress code because he could see my chest. My admin assured the parent that I always follow the rules, and that I\u2019m just naturally \u201cblessed.\u201d I\u2019m simply curvy, and I can\u2019t physically hide it.<\/p>\n
The admin used the phrase \u201cnaturally blessed\u201d when talking to me. She\u2019s a woman, and that\u2019s how she speaks. I\u2019m not sure if she said it the same way to the parent.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t mind her comment, but I understand why some people might not like it. It could be a cultural difference in how we see these things. She was very supportive, and I didn\u2019t feel like she was taking the parent\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know who the kid or parent is because they didn\u2019t tell me. I think it\u2019s better this way because if I knew, I might feel uncomfortable around the student. So, it\u2019s best that I don\u2019t know and keep going, knowing that the admin supports me and that I\u2019m doing everything right!<\/p>\n\n
