Teacher on Leave after Taking Students to Hooters

[Peter3_1]

Hmmmm, objectifying women, eh....hmmmmm, then we'd best keep them off the beach all summer, away from fashion shows, State Fairs, Circuses, pools with female lifeguards and so on.

Hooters I've been to maybe 6 times, about half of them with my wife and kids ( before they grew up) .  Seemed to me that there was more sexuality to the idea than there was in the execution.  If there was one within 5 miles, my wife and I would go there maybe every other week when we wanted releaf from the usual sitdown restaurant and wanted a very informal setting.

Don't forget the malls.

The Hooter waitresses make bank in tips. If I was ten years younger and thinner I would do it.

Let us be the judge of that. Pics needed.

So I have this quacky friend, that says she won't go to Hooters because it objectifies women.  Alrighty then, if that floats your boat.  I disagree personally. But, then I told her that she was a hypocrite, because she has one of the biggest selections of porn I have ever personally seen.

(Not that I have seen alot of collections, but it was voluminous)

I think hooters is fine for adults...but not on school children...and not up to the schools' discretion...but the parents.

Now, one of my close friends brought her young 3 y/o son to Hooters once because Hooters was the only establishment with electricity after the entire neighborhood was without after a Hurricane.
Now that's okay...

I, too, would object to my child being taken to Hooters for a meal.  Not the kind of values I promoted to my children.  They grew up to be a fine and diverse group of adults, too.

Values like working for a living is a bad thing?

Would you object to your kids going to the beach too?

[rich_t]

I don't think Hooters is a good place to take a group of students.

Kids have enough issues trying to self identify themselves, let alone having the school boys compare the school girls to the wait staff.

Have you taken a good look at some modern day HS girls?  They aren't exactly lacking in the female physical attributes.

Did she have a big ole collection of porn like my friend did too?

The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders wear less than a Hooters girl.  Random statement....

Just because an activity can be called "work" doesn't make it acceptable.  There are certain jobs that I wouldn't approve of. 

Going to the beach?  There is a big difference between going to the beach with friends and/or family and going to some beach on spring break to party like some do.

Using terms like "working" and "going to the beach" are too general.  I can see a lot of differences along the continuum of either.

I have seen a little leauge ball team go to Hooters. I also saw the same team bail on paying their frackin bill and stiff the waitress with a huge bill which came out of her check. Asshats.

The birkenstock twit's actually in the wrong place - whatever their attire, those women (other than birkie) are working, not merely standing around trying to attract attention (funny, that's precisely what birkie's doing, though).

Yes indeed.  Waiting tables and serving food is an evil and vile occupation.

Yes indeed.  Waiting tables and serving food is an evil and vile occupation.

Sure can be.  Just to give examples distant from each other:  Waiting tables at a topless club is very different than waiting tables at a local diner that serves families and business people.  In my opinion a "Hooters" type place doesn't fit into family friendly for the kind of people I wanted my children to be with.

While my kids were young, I had input into the type of environments where they spent time.  Nothing unusual there.
