Funny you should bring this up again.   I sent the gym teacher an email the night of the 19th and she never responded until today, AFTER I sent her another email with a copy to the district office asking her why she had not responded. 

She basically said that she didn't realize that her direct questioning and her "simple suggestion" was "too direct for someone who was apparently over-sensitive." 

Offered no apology, nothing.  Her reply was not copied to the district office so I replied to her with a copy to the district office so her response went to them also. 

Since this incident last Wednesday, I have learned that this is certainly not an isolated incident but the kids were basically too scared to say anything about it.  They feared that if they complained, she would fail them and has apparently threatened to do so.

Basically, it is still unresolved.  My daughter is back to swimming today so we will see if there are any further comments tonight when she gets home.

I hope the teacher is at least reprimanded by the school district and maybe given some training on how to handle delicate situations with young girls going through the beginnings of puberty.

I'm an Island girl, a seahag, salt water runs through my veins.....spent just about any free moment at  the beach,  fishing, crabbing, scalloping, clamming...there's just something about the sea breeze.  I didn't realize how expensive seafood was until I moved inland bkz it was always in abundance.  

For the last 25 years we've basically been land-locked.  When I fly home every once in a great while, the arial view of the Atlantic Ocean,  Fire Island and the Great South Bay does my heart good.
