We’ve previously written about a fourth grader’s fight to wear mini-skirts to school, now it’s the teachers’ turn…

ABC News Online – May 1, 2006:

A Chinese university has banned “super-short” skirts on its teachers, citing the need to maintain a certain distance from the students, state media says.

Only days after the new rules were announced at the Shanghai Normal University, they have triggered a heated debate among its more than 200 female teachers, the Beijing Times says.

It did not specify what “super-short” means.

Some of the teachers have complained that they too have a right to be fashionable and a number of students support them, the papers says.

“We like teachers with personality, and especially teachers who dare show their personality,” a student, whose name and sex was not specified, said.

    Now all those Chinese fathers have an extra reason not to go to those teacher-parent interviews.

  2. Don says:

    Anybody ever see one of those Asian “up-skirt” photo sites? No wonder the students are supporting the teachers: raw material.

  3. Me says:

    Oh, the memories!

    A teacher who loved skirts was the only reason I survived high school spanish.

  6. Awake says:

    Hmmm… short skirts, adolescent hormones, being asked to stand up and write something on the blackboard during class…

  7. Dan says:

    When I lived in NY I went to the school of the nude. It is a expensive private colledge and all the teachers and most of the students come to class in the nude. sex ed, as you can imagine, was amazing!

    Nowadays, every little girl wants to grow up and be a skank like Paris HIlton!

    I guess I was born too soon.
