I will also say, when I worked at a highschool a few years ago (I'm now middle school) a male teacher did pipe up about a student whose skirt was so short that he could see their underwear and buttocks and the parents called him a pedophile for trying to, "Look at their daughter," however, he only complained because he was uncomfortable. A pedophile probably wouldn't have said anything. Like I said, I don't think there is going to be any one size solution. It's pretty annoying. I do agree, school staff should be held to a high standard, but just in general. Teaching is a profession and we should present ourselves as professionals. I'm sorry if your experience with schools made you feel like teachers don't care about students as real people. In my experience, being on staff at the district I went to, all the teachers I work with spent years in school learning how to help because they genuinely care for the kids.
