That's right - she KEPT her job! And, parents are justifiably pissed. The principal said she didn't show anything more than one would see on the beach, but that's really not the point, is it? What she did was 1) in the capacity of an adult in charge of supervision, 2) done deliberately in a provocative manner and 3) was NOT at a beach!! Of course, we here in the US go to the extreme opposite where if she were to have done that outside of school in an arena more appropriate for that behavior, for adults and not children, parents would STILL be outraged and she'd probably LOSE her job despite her having respected the decorum of the classroom. We do tend to be a bit prudish here. But, I don't think the behavior is at all appropriate for a teacher of children, especially pubescent children, and should have received more than a verbal warning. Don't you? Here is the link (video as well): http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1874459.ece?stripteasegoodness

What is this world coming to? If a teacher were to do that infront of my children I would not only have my children moved to a different teacher, but I would keep fighting to have that teacher fired! They have other jobs where its ok to do things like that, but as a teacher you should know better! I'm not saying that people who do that kind of thing (strippers) are bad people, not at all, but they chose to do that as a job, and where they are doing it, it is accepted. A teacher is one that we as parents or children are supposed to be able to trust and to look up to. Wow, I could go on forever about this, but I think I better cool myself down a little.

It's one thing to have kids informed. I'm not against information. But, this was enticement and definitely beyond responsible behavior!

Where the hell were these kinds of teachers when I was in school. Most of my teachers looked like the Oak Ridge Boys with boobs...I would have let her strip for me and I wouldn't have said a word to anyone about it...as long as she was sexy anyways...

LOL Not quite the outrage I was anticipating, but definitely full of testosterone!

Why is it that when something like this goes on it is filmed? I've always wondered how they just know when to start filming, and I was wondering what happened as to why she started. I watched the video and then read the story. Then again if I had the sound on I doubt it'd of done any good as it was probably in German.

Kids with cell phones are filming EVERYTHING. All they had to do was continue where they were.

I am sorry if that was my childs teacher i dont think she would have her job. I would be going through every channel i needed to for this teacher to be fired. In my eyes that is just not right. That is gross and the teacher should be fired. What are these school hiring now. hookers and drunks what i am not understanding what is going on anymore.

For now, the principal has shot it down. But, I don't know how the education system is structured in Germany. Maybe upper levels will decide to do something and override the principal, especially since this has gone International.

It depends on how the kids act - if they treat her like a common wh*re now, she'll probably leave on her own. Which is good - she'd deserve it. But, if the kids thought it was cool that she "let it all out", she may never know how wrong it was (until she has her own kids, maybe).

that is really sick... i can't imagine having a teacher doing that kind of thing in front of her students... that is just so wrong and i also believe that she should be suspended for some times if not sacked so that she can learn her lesson... no matter how valuable asset she is to the school, her behaviour is totally wrong and she should be punished accordingly... take care and have a nice day...

I agree with you completely. Her actions were entirely inappropriate.

This teacher is ahead of her time. She knows instinctively that God Created Human- kind is His Likeness and Image. God did not create Religion! Men did that, and they needed to make something sinful so they could collect money from the sinners ( for a chance to go to heaven.) The first thing they came up with is the naked human body. And sure enough 1500 years later there are plenty of people willing to echo the thoughts and actions of those ancient men who wrote the so-called Holy Scriptures. The human body is Holy, just a God created it. This woman deserves a medal for teaching her students this Glorious Truth in this inglorious age of unbelievers.

I would have been out there a whole lot sooner than the table cloth lady..NO way would I want her to supervise anything let alone an event for my kids...so what if they dared her....She was the adult (supposedly) and she should not have encouraged the behavior... OMG...She wouldn't be allowed around my kids no way no how....

You're right - she didn't much act like a responsible adult and shouldn't be treated like one.

The Sun is not a UK quality paper and is more than capable of making up its stories. However, this seems a genuine case and I believe that the teacher should be severely reprimanded. As others have said, she was supposed to be supervising the young people not entertaining them.

Yeah, even our tabloids make a goal every once in a while. Plus, it's hard to pretend that what was captured on the cell phone video was faked.

That is completely inappropriate behavior for ANYONE at a school... let alone a teacher! It was inappropriate for her to even dance like that at all even with all of her clothes on! The fact that she stripped down to her underwear makes it even worse! It really makes me wonder exactly what you have to do at that school in order to lose your job!

If the other teacher hadn't stopped her, we might have found out. Apparently the principal wasn't too interested or concerned with what she would have continued doing if not stopped.

OMG ! I cant believe a teacher can don such thing in front of teeange students. Even the students cant believe what they saw. That is just very unbecoming for a teacher. She doesnt deserve any respect at all.. This will surely not happen in the US . she will get fired , wont be back to school again and might end up being sued by the parents and the school offcials as well..

I've watched the link and I can't imagine what she was thinking. This is a place with impressionable children, regardless of age, who already mostly have raging hormones and here she's doing a striptease for them. I think if she's that interested in stripping then she should go to work in a strip club. It's really perverted to do that in front of the kids...thankfully at least one person had the responsibility and courage to step up and put a stop to it.

Investigate the headmaster as well. I am sure she also strips in the headmaster's office.

Wow that's something, I don't think that would fly here in the states. What I'm wondering is if the other teacher hadn't have stopped her how much more would she have taken off?

Yea I have to wonder that myself becuase in the video it looked like she was goin to take OFF her bra... I also have to wonder what the hell she was thinking during and after her little performance?

I would hope when she stopped she would realize that she had gone to far. That video is gonna haunt her for many years to come.

Somehow I doubt it will make a difference to her. Her behavior has been approved by her superiors by their saying it was nothing.
