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!)
Set out a set of gym sweats and a t-shirt and inform the students that anyone who does not follow the dress code will have to wear the sweats and t-shirt while they are in school; otherwise, the student will be sent home to change and be marked as an unexcused absence. This should discourage all future incidents with dress code. |

| Comments: This will not discourage the dress code violation because it does not appear to have been addressed initially. s to the remarks made in class, by addressing them it will only escalate the problem. My question: knowing the way Mary dresses why was there a class discussion on sexual assault when she was present? |
