Should schools refuse to hire teachers that are TOO attractive? Is having a hot teacher asking for trouble?

Isn't that a form of discrimination based on physical appearance? If the teacher dresses professionally, and always acts professionally, I don't see a problem. I'm assuming you're talking about high school. Young children in elementary school don't usually notice or think about such things.

What if a study concluded that children learn less when their teacher is physically attractive, because they're distracted?

(I've never heard of a study concluding this, just saying what if.)

No, but teachers shouldn't be allowed to show their sexual body parts to kids. It's pedo behavior.

Attractiveness should not be a criterion for hiring teachers. Schools should focus on a teacher's qualifications, teaching ability, and their capacity to connect with and inspire students. Professionalism and the ability to maintain appropriate boundaries are key qualities for educators. Appearance should not overshadow these essential qualities. Ultimately, fostering a respectful and productive learning environment is what's most important.

You are not human, Advisor Smith. Stop pretending otherwise.

No it makes no sense. Who will decide who is attractive?

Totally impossible and unenforceable.
