Scandal Over Olivia Sprauer Bikini Photos:
It seems like just about every week we hear at least one story in the news of a teacher (generally young and female) being fired or detained for engaging in unacceptable conduct (usually sexual) with a student.
Mathematically speaking, it shouldn't be any surprise that the teacher caught in a compromising situation with a pupil is female. In accordance with the National Center for Education Statistics, about three quarters of all public school teachers are female. Teaching has, like nursing and a few other areas, long been considered a female profession. Which is why I very nearly passed over the story of Olivia Sprauer, a youthful, female teacher in Florida who was fired a few weeks ago for allegedly improper behavior.
Ms. Sprauer's case, however, is different. She had not been fired for inappropriate interaction with a pupil. Nor was she fired for appearing in a pornographic film. Instead, she was fired for having professional photos taken of herself wearing a bikini.

Ms. Sprauer apparently understood she was taking a risk by being photographed in skimpy swimwear. Employment contracts for many classes of public employees contain conduct clauses which order that behaviour beyond work hours can be taken into consideration when rating general job performance. Teachers are (perhaps unfairly) more affected by these conduct clauses, since their primary audience is kids and it's also presumed that children will be more negatively impacted by alleged immoral behaviour on the part of the teachers than fellow adults would.
Aside from parents, the adults that children spend most of their time with are teachers. As a parent of two young kids in public school, I realize (and expect) that teachers have a role model element to their own occupations. But I can also categorically state that if among my sons' and daughters' teachers (who are both female) did some bikini modeling privately, I'dn't be bothered at all.
As nudists, we understand that morality is an enormous grey area, and community standards vary from state to state and region to region. So perhaps we're not as worried by bikini photographs in Nyc as they are in Florida (oh, the irony!).
Though I think we can all agree that the first thing we need from our teachers is competence. Did Ms. Sprauer's outside-of-work pic sessions impair her ability to instruct? If she had been surreptitiously photographed wearing a bikini at a public playa, would that have been unethical actions? Or was it only a difficulty that she posed and got paid for it? As long as she was effectively facilitating learning in the classroom, what does it matter?
Actions policies are integral to many jobs, and can be particularly significant within an educational environment. My wife continues to be a professor at a couple of different universities, and most higher education associations prohibit relationships between professors/staff and students though the pupils are typically over the age of 18 and thus legally adults.
Difficulties of favoritism and academic dishonesty can arise as an outcome of professor-student relationships, which can be extremely harmful to the learning environment.
Younger kids are definitely impressionable. We can thus hold teachers in elementary through high schools to a somewhat higher standard of actions. Any number of out-of-school activities can affect how a teacher presents her- or himself in the classroom. Would I want my kids being taught by someone who uses illegal drugs, participates in view , or makes porn movies even if that action didn't materially affect the classroom environment? It's a tough issue, and I could make arguments for and against that teacher continuing in their own situation.
In the instance of Olivia Sprauer, is the simple act of being photographed nearly nude sufficient reasons for beach nymphs ? Or could it be an overreaction driven by society's tendency to equate nudity with sex?
The battle continues.
