I don't consider myself a prude and I have seen a few things during my teaching career, but I still get a laugh some days, and still blush....
I allow students to listen to their iPods during class when they're working individually. Today, I noticed one boy was not working and also had the undivided attention of the two boys either side of him (already a red altert). I walk over to the boys and am gloriously presented with a set of jugs bouncing up and down on the mini screen of the portable porn port. "Hand it over." Rather than be embarrassed, the boy defends himself by saying that I am mistaken, it's not porn, but 'American Pie', making me somewhat more offended by the poor boy's lack of taste and his obvious resistance to any influence I may have had on his artistic development.
The poetic justice lies in a few consequences:
1. The boy's mother is the only person who will be allowed to collect the iPod from the principal (let's see who blushes now!)
2. The opportunity for this boy to see probably his first real breasts has been taken away from him - no Life model for that little chicken!
