My high school teacher is being inappropriate?

I have this teacher who has always been strange. I can't say everything he does or says because this would be even longer, but these are some things he has said that have really creeped me out and have shown he's a perv and possible pedophile. •The other day, a classmate stood up to go to the restroom and as she was walking he said, "I want to take pictures of you naked" in front of the whole class. I thought maybe I had heard wrong but he had the audacity to repeat it and claim he was just joking. In that moment, it was clear to me something was wrong with him. •A couple days went by and these girls were watching a funny video on their phones and he was like, "stop looking at porn, girls" and another girl asked them, "are you really doing that?" To which the girls obviously replied no and he was like, "yes you were, you were watching a guy with two dicks" What. The. Fuck. The reaction of one of these naive girls literally was, "omg sir this is so cool, I had never heard a teacher say the word dick before, you just made my day! haha" /.- I feel like I'm the only one there who sees how fucked up this actually is. •Today, he said at the beggining of class that we could "play with ourselves" when he finished the lesson and he repeated the exact same thing again once he finished. What kind of teacher would ever say that? •He has a cabinet thing full of snacks he gives to his students and during his lunch he lets his favorite ones stay in his class and he buys them lunch too. Sometimes he stays with only one student, like today. •He texts her too. He has her freaking phone number, and I really doubt she's the only one he has contact with outside of school. What should I do? Not only do I feel super uncomfortable in his class, but I also fear for some of these girls' safety. I'm planning to tell all this to my school counselor and see what she says. What if her or the principals don't believe me, though?

  • As a high school teacher, I can definitely say this behavior is inappropriate. Why? It's invasive, it's agressive, it's oppressive, it's threatening. If nothing else, it's a psychological violence. Teachers should never use their position to make KIDS (because if you're in high school you're pretty much a kid) feel like that.

    My advice: yes, report him, but (if possible) make sure you're backed up with documented evidence and/or witnesses. And by witnesses I mean people you can really trust. People that won't lie under pressure or if menaced by an authority. Why have documented evidence or witnesses? Because it's common for counselors, school principals, superintendents to try to underestimate student's claims when things like that happens. And then it all comes back against these same students. In part because they don't take their words as respectable and in part because they fear the bad publicity. So the witnesses or evidences would serve not only against the teacher but against everyone who tries to belittle your claims. Even the police. Those lazy, incompetent couch potatoes often do the same thing. Sometimes because it's too much of a workout for them to get out of their chair, soemtimes because they just do't believe people that age.

    Botton of line, life is always better if you can get real evidence. But don't let thim go on with this behavior.

  • Your profile doesn't indicate your location, so I will assume you are in the US. If not, hopefully your country has a similar mechanism.

    Every state has a phone number you can call to anonymously report child abuse or neglect. Many of the things that you have recited would meet the definition of threatened sexual abuse. Investigators will come to the school to interview students. Because a different government agency is involved, there is much less possibility that this will be swept under the rug.

    If you private message me and tell me your general location (county and state,) I will find the phone number that you call to report this.

    • Thank you very much.

    • Good Advice. When I was in highschool we had a teacher who i was told was fired or possibly forced to resign from another school in another town for something that happened between him and a student. yet he was teaching in my town. Im guessing that in the 70's they did not have all the mechanisms in place to address issues like this. I pray that he was not involved with any students at my school. I saw lots of things that made me suspicious but never anything that would confirm my suspicions.

  • You should try recording stuff secretly so that you have evidence. This would count as sexual harassment and he is definitely stepping over the line. Not only that, but clearly showing who his favorite students are is wrong. All students should be equal to him. Even if they aren't, he still shouldn't give special treatment to those he especially likes.
    He is ruining the school environment for you, making you feel unsafe and uncomfortable, which is more than enough to get him fired. Gather evidence first, then go to the principal. If you tell anyone about it before gathering enough evidence, they might tell him off (but not fire him) and at that point you'd be stuck with him since he would most likely stop. But he'd still be there.

  • I would sit up front and set my phone to record the classes. Then I would show everyone. Omg I cannot even believe he says those things. That is highly inappropriate and just sick. Good on you for being the voice of reason

    • I would not show everyone. I would show school authorities, but I think I would make an extra copy of the video just in case. If the school does not address the issue the media or law enforcement could be a useful tool. Don't know if you could do this anonymously or not.

  • Usually if you say something they will take it to the principal and he/she will take students from your class and ask if this is true. Unfortunately some people are dumb enough to say no and protect the teacher.

  • Get the principal and or guidancecounselor involved and tell them what gas been happening.

  • As was suggested, you should record his class on your phone and have a counselor hear it. He might never teach again.

  • Please first make sure you are interpreting his behavior correctly. If he is behaving, there is usually a citizen liaison wing police dept that you should speak with first.

    I would have said , "yell to everyone involved immediately. The reason I suggest double checking his actions are thus: you will be destroying this person's career, home life and forever branding him as a pariah. He will be unable to work as a teacher again. in short his life will be destroyed. If you are comfortable confronting him with the statement that if it should happen again, you're going to authorities.

    It takes courage to approach this by yourself but it has't been so long since I've been in HS that I can't remember the tendency that many have for melodrama.

    I am in no way condoning his behavior I am simply suggesting that you try to look at the options knowing what the consequences will be

  • Tell your parents - specifically your Dad.

    I don't really trust counsellors to do the right thing - too many office politics for them to deal with.

    But a pissed off Dad showing up in the Principle's office tends to get things done. And if not - he can return with a COP.

    You don't tell a high school student you want to take pics of her nude.

    Fucking idiot.

  • Perv u should slap the shit outa him wait he probibly love that u need to get your friends to help u take videos of this and ask other girls to help u hub this guy is a freak and deserves to get raped in prison

    • You want him raped in prison for having said inappropriate things? Damn ! I wonder what would be your sentence for litering. Life without parole?

  • Let a female guidance counselor or female teacher of yours know. However, it is critical that you are adult about it and not making these allegations like you are trying to start drama. Be mature about it like you are here. In fact, maybe just show that teacher or counselor this very G@G question.

  • Report his behavior to your parents, counselor, other teachers, principal. Tell your parents first. Adults will advocate for you.

    • Your parents need to call the police. His behavior is REALLY dangerous.

    • The guy made inappropriate comments. Let's not panic and succumb to paranoia...

    • @JuicyBrain I'd rather panic and be paranoid instead of not worried enough. His behavior is beyond inappropriate.

  • Omg i see you on youtube in the thinktank comment section!

  • Lol wtf how is he a pedophile

    • I know, I know. Please disregard that part, I guess I just had a lot of thoughts going through my mind and somehow got confused.

  • Tell the counselor. Please.

    • Okay, I will!

  • Definitely tell your counselor, and a principal. They will keep your identity private.

  • I'd somehow get evidence of this and if he really is doing it, report him.

  • Teacher should be a idol to be a better person, I can say guy is a bit of a pedophile, but again! Most of you kids are hitting 18, I think he is more of a friendly person but a dick! He is taking you like his classmates, instead he should take you as your student.

  • Go to your principal or another school official and tell them exactly what you heard. You have to get that man fired before he molests a peer or something. He sounds quite shady to me.

  • Next time secretly use your phone to record it. I'd use the voice recorder function as it doesn't make any stupid sounds upon recording.
    Do that and use it as evidence before talking to a counselor or principal

    • THIS^^^

  • You have to tell to your school counselor. He is not teacher.

  • I'd report it. He has no business being in a classroom. Maybe try recording him for proof.

    • Yeah, I have thought about voice recording him.. I don't think doing so would be illegal, would it?

    • It's not illegal.

    • Oh okay, just wanted to be sure, thank you.

  • Sounds like he shouldn't be teaching HS. One or two comments might just indicate that he was in a weird mood that day or something but it definitely sounds like a clear pattern.

  • I'd secretly record him in class cause if its just your word against his the school administration would believe him instead of you. Your only other option is to have several girls testify against your teacher. Good luck he is obviously a pedo. There was this math teacher in my high school who tried to have relations with his otter female students after class and the girls reported him, he went to jail.

  • I think you're lying. He would have already been fired if he actually said these things. You're not the only one that would tell on him in the class, and maybe he isn't doing or saying anything. If you're not lying. Just snitch him out to the principal man. Sheesh. It's not that complex of a situation. If you're telling the truth. Tell on him. If you're lying... well why would you lie unless you're mentally ill.
