Imagine being asked in a math class not about equations, but about how much a date should weigh or if you’re “pretty or smart”! This became a shocking reality for students at Lowell High School in San Francisco, where math teacher Tom Chan has been placed on indefinite leave amidst serious allegations. For over two decades, Chan reportedly subjected students to quizzes containing fat-shaming and sexist questions, including problems about “fat kids” being punted and the inverse relationship between a girl’s weight and dating cost. Furthermore, some quizzes bizarrely asked students to choose between being “Pretty or Smart.” Beyond classroom content, Chan also ran a YouTube channel, “Grades vs. Dignity,” where students performed “silly dances” for extra credit, raising concerns about humiliation for grades. Parents, initially fearing retaliation for their children’s grades, bravely brought these issues to light, prompting a swift investigation by the San Francisco Unified School District. The district confirmed they are taking these concerns seriously, emphasizing the priority of student safety and support. This unsettling situation highlights critical questions about teacher accountability and the need for open communication channels within schools. It truly makes one wonder what goes on behind classroom doors unnoticed. Don’t miss out on more stories like this – subscribe to our channel for the latest updates and in-depth reports!
