What the teacher actually said was "good looking, fit, sexy and everybody fancies him". I can't see where the ambiguity is.

I agree the word sexy has other meanings in today's society however when used in context with the rest of the description it is a very disturbing was for an adult to describe an 11 year old child and needs to be addressed.

Of course I have said things in the wrong way before, however I have never spoken in such a way about a child, especially a child entrusted to my care. Mistake or not, what the teacher said was wholly inappropriate, concerning and should be raised with the headteacher.

A teacher holds a position of trust and responsibility.

Only a sick or very naive and silly individual would refer to an 11 year old child in this way.

I would go with the naivety at this stage. I can't understand how anyone who has been through the courses that have to be part of all training for people in charge in children could say something like this about a child. It's even harder to understand that she thought it appropriate to say it in front of the child.

For her own protection, the teacher needs to have it raised so that she can reassess her use of language. The school needs to be aware of it before she does some other silly thing that gets them on the front pages of the newspapers.

Senior staff need to be involved to keep an eye on her interaction with the children and try to mitigate the spread of her comments on FB.

How ever her final comment was i dont think you realise just how popular your son is and how hard the girls are fitting over him. He is a n extremely good looking ,Fit and sexy boy who every one fancys !!!!!!

I work in a junior school and if myself or my colleagues were ever heard to refer to a child in such a way there would be dire consequences. The comments made above about an 11 year old are completely inappropriate. A teacher, who is in a position of care and trust toward a child, should not be viewing their appearance in that way at all. To be honest for any adult to refer to an 11 year old as fit and sexy is disturbing.
