These boys age would be 11 and 12 years old. The school requires a teacher to be with students at all times to reduce bullying and harassment. This means she will have to supervise the boys in the locker room before class and after returning to the locker room. She will sees them undress and dress, see them in the shower and toilet area. This means she will see them naked.
I would think that just like it would not be acceptable for a male teacher to supervise 11 and 12 year old girls in a change room it should be the same for boys being supervised by a female staff member is not acceptable.
Some may not mind but the change room can be very intimidating for some kids so being watched and supervised by a female staff member would be very awkward for many of the boys.
It's probably mandatory in the Equal Opportunity world. Female reporters are allowed in professional sports teams locker rooms ---- the judge has spoken in Boston.
Back in my day, the gym teacher was in their office and they hardly went into the locker room. Why the school doesn't have a same-sex monitor in the room baffles me.
To njoynlife, there's a huge difference between being in a pro athlete's locker room than being in one at a school.
I didn't feel good changing. I covered you with the towel and I changed (at most I would show my ass). In secondary education, a teacher wanted to do the same thing (she did it once and we were all dressed) and we told her that if she happened to enter (without the notice and consent of everyone inside) we would report her. She did not do it again. When I was 18 in other school another teacher also did it.
A classmate who saw him naked told the teacher if he came back in without notifying her, he would undress her with or without permission (if she did not warn that he was going to come in, he would not tell her that he was going to undress her). this last teacher could be denounced since 100% sure she saw 1 naked boy and possibly someone else
My Dad had never explained to me what this meant or anything. I just knew I was very embarrassed and didn't know what to do. I cried several times. Fortunately the teacher noticed this and called me back into the office. She had a long meaningful talk about why boys my age get erections and that I shouldn't feel embarrassed. She told me to think about other things while I was in the shower room and get showered and dressed as soon as possible. She was a great help to me as a child. So to answer the question, yes sometimes women teachers are in the boys locker room. It is not always bad if it occurs. Sometimes it can even be helpful to the child..
