Female high school teacher storms a boys change room and accuses students of being ‘misogynistic’

A female teacher stormed a boys change room and berated students as ‘misogynistic’ for celebrating a sporting victory too loudly.

The Year 10 and 11 students at Como Secondary College in Perth were celebrating after an indoor soccer match before their afternoon classes on Monday when the teacher stormed the change room. 

The teacher yelled that the students sounded like ‘a bunch of testosterone-fueled misogynistic boys’, a Year 11 student who was present told The West Australian. 

The student said he and his friends were stunned by the teacher’s actions because they were not making any comments about women. 

According to the student, the group was cheering their goalkeeper who did not let any goals through. 

‘We were all sort of offended by the fact she called us misogynistic even though we hadn’t done anything like that. It’s like something that 1 per cent of us do is now something that all of us do,’ he said. 

School principal Digby Mercer told the newspaper he spoke to the teacher about ‘some inappropriate words’. 

While WA’s Education Department was also aware of the incident and said the teacher was assisting a disabled student who wanted to use the bathroom and was unsettled by the group’s chanting. 

Mr Mercer said the teacher asked the boys to be quiet and warned them before she entered. 

‘Teachers also have a duty of care to manage a situation where the behaviour of students is not appropriate,’ he said. 

The boys say they did not hear any requests to be quiet or the teacher warning them she was going to walk into the change room.
