  Case: Skimpier and skimpier
As the summer has gotten hotter, Mary's classroom attire has gotten skimpier and skimpier. What started with halter tops and miniskirts has quickly escalated into bikini tops and thong-revealing short shorts. While this has made her extremely popular with the men in the class (who flirt and lavish attention on her), the women in the class are unimpressed with her wardrobe and make rude comments behind her back before she comes to class. During a discussion on sexual assault, a woman in the class makes the comment, "If the girl dresses like a prostitute, she gets what she deserves." Mary does a slow turn and says indignantly, "You better not be talking about me." When should I have intervened? How?, What should I say to Mary? What should I say to the student who made the comment, and to the rest of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that the schools should be required to address how the students dress. If the teacher says something to the student, but they come to school the same, obviously it isn't working with the teachers request. The administration should have someone appointed to deal with these issues. The other students should definitely be spoken to as well. It isn't their place to be correcting other students.
