Scandal Over Olivia Sprauer Bikini Photos:
It seems like just about every week we hear a minumum of one story in the news of a teacher (generally young and female) being fired or detained for engaging in inappropriate behaviour (usually sexual) with a student.
Mathematically speaking, it shouldn't be any surprise a teacher found in a compromising situation 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 a few other areas, long been considered a female profession. Which is why
url passed over the story of Olivia Sprauer, a young, female teacher in Florida who was fired a couple of weeks ago for allegedly improper behavior.
Ms. Sprauer's case, however, is distinct. She had not been fired for improper interaction with a pupil. Nor was she fired for appearing in a pornographic film.

Employment contracts for many classes of public employees feature actions clauses which dictate that behaviour outside work hours can be taken into consideration when rating general job performance. Teachers are (possibly unfairly) more impacted by these conduct clauses, since their main audience is kids and it's also assumed that children will be more adversely affected by alleged unethical behaviour on the part of their teachers than fellow grownups would.
Apart from parents, the adults that kids spend most of their time with are teachers. As a parent of two young children in public school, I recognize (and anticipate) that teachers have a role model element with their jobs. But I can also categorically state that if one of my children's teachers (who are both female) did some bikini modeling quietly, I wouldn't be disturbed at all.
So perhaps we're not as bothered by bikini pictures in New York as they are in Florida (oh, the irony!).
Though I believe we can all agree the first thing we want from our teachers is competence. Did Ms. Sprauer's outside-of-work pic sessions impair her ability to educate? If she had been surreptitiously photographed wearing a bikini at a public sand, would that happen to be immoral actions? Or was it only a problem that she posed and got paid because of it? So long as she was effectively facilitating learning in the classroom, what does it matter?
Actions policies are integral to many jobs, and can be especially significant in a educational environment. My wife continues to be a professor at a number of different universities, and most higher education associations prohibit relationships between professors/staff and students even though the pupils are usually over the age of 18 and therefore lawfully adults.
Issues of favoritism and academic dishonesty can appear as a result of professor-student relationships, which can be extremely detrimental to the learning environment.
Younger kids are surely impressionable. Any amount of out of school activities can change how a teacher presents her- or himself in the classroom. Would I want my children being educated by someone who uses illegal drugs, engages in prostitution, or makes porn movies even if that action did not materially affect the classroom environment?
https:/s3.amazonaws.com/viva-naturist/young-nudist.html is a tough issue, and I could make arguments for and against that teacher continuing in their own place.
But in the instance of Olivia Sprauer, is the simple act of being photographed nearly naked sufficient reasons for dismissal? Or is it an overreaction driven by society's inclination to equate nudity with sex?
The conflict continues.
