I used to go to a topless hairdressers called Franks
My high school football coach used to take us to hooters!! He thought hooters was like a 5 star restaurant!! :lol: So my answer would be absolutely no!! Though I do wish my high school football coach had been suspended for other reasons, notably because he was a completely **** coach.
in the article it didn't actually say whether the parents new the kids were going to hoooters or not
Some people are acting as if these students were taken to a titty bar!
They were not. There is no nudity in Hooters. They serve chicken wings of various flavors.
I just do not see the crime here.
EXACTLY. She took them to an all ages restaurant...some people just have to over react about everything.
oh my gosh, their kids got to see attractive women...attractive women with breasts even!!:shock: oh the humanity!!:mrgreen:You still miss the point. It's up to parents to determine what is appropriate for their children. As this thread shows, some, for whatever reason, don't find Hooters to be an appropriate place for their kids. While I don't think I would have had a problem if I had been a parent of one of the kids, I also can clearly see that it is a potential problem, and when in doubt, you should err on the side of caution. That is why the teacher showed poor judgment.

nope, i don't believe that i missed the point...and i suggested nothing about what you were trying to say...i find it rather amusing that some would get their britches in a bunch over this...its not like the kids were taken to the local nudie club for the all you can eat buffet and the daily 4beers for 10 bucks...Thank you for still missing the point, and suggesting I am saying something entirely different from what I did say.

and its my right to think that they are being a bit anal retentive about it....honestly , what were they exposed to?? girls in white tops and orange shorts :doh:shock: and oh my gosh, what if they happened to be somewhat attractive....:shock:But that's the point, it's their right to get their britches in a bunch over what their kids are exposed to. You and I may think it's stupid, but neither of us has the right to tell them how to raise their kids.
exactly....they can see much more on the ol' tvI don't see what the big deal is. They see far more racy things on TV and movies everyday.

[ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooters]Hooters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]An older version of the Hooters Employee Handbook (prior to October 2006), published in the The Smoking Gun reads:[15] which notes that:
Customers can go to many places for wings and beer, but it is our Hooters Girls who make our concept unique. Hooters offers its customers the look of the "All American Cheerleader, Surfer, Girl Next Door."
Female employees are required to sign that they "acknowledge and affirm" the following:
1. My job duties require I wear the designated Hooters Girl uniform.
2. My job duties require that I interact with and entertain the customers.
3. The Hooters concept is based on female sex appeal and the work environment is one in which joking and entertaining conversations are commonplace.
I don't see what the big deal is. They see far more racy things on TV and movies everyday.
It's also not like a school teacher couldn't find a restaurant that does not simply objectify women,
to take his underage charges to for a meal.
they were exposed to the girl next door?? i have to ask, what is wrong with that?? kids can and do see much worse on tv....mtv and all the "reality" shows they have, music videos with scantily(sometimes alot less than a hooters girl uni) clad women, several prime time shows.......again, they seen some nice looking girls ...what is the problem??It's also not like a school teacher couldn't find a restaurant that does not simply objectify women, to take his underage charges to for a meal.
Here is what the Hooters employee manual says about the restaurant:
Hooters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No, teachers should not be taking underage kids to a restaurant where sex appeal of the waitresses IS the concept of the business, if there are more appropriate places available, and in this case there always are more appropriate places. I'm not saying lock the teacher up, teacher committed no crime, but teacher exercised poor judgment.

so fine...a parent objected...was it worth a suspension for the teacher? i think not. i just think this is wayyyyyyy overblown.What's wrong with that is a parent objected. Just because the same thing is on TV has nothing to do with it. Does this parent control TV viewing as well? We don't know but it is possible. Again it is a parents right and to my mind duty to determine what is and is not appropriate for their children.

Nothing in this thread has been mentioned about the women complaining about their job. This is about a teacher taking school kids to Hooters.:lol: Those women objectify themselves, and then ugly b*tches complain about it.
So there's an age limit on viewing sexually appealing women??? :shock:
sure, the teacher could have taken them somewhere else...odds are that there might have been a couple of attractive women at this restaurant as well....is the teacher still guilty in your opinion of 'poor judgement' if she fed these kids in that restaurant as well??The reason for the suspension is it was poor judgment on the part of the teacher. There are plenty of places that the teacher could have taken the kids that where much less likely to result in a parental complaint.

There is a responsibility on the part of the school to only participate in wholesome activities for the kids that attend them, to assist in raising respectful and well balanced citizens. Bringing high schoolers to a business establishment whose own employee manual stated the concept is based on SEX APPEAL is unwise, and totally unnecessary. Other choices were available and should have been exercised. Whatever happens outside the school environment the school cannot control, but it can and MUST control those decisions under its control. The school did its duty well!
