Is it ok for a school to take 7th and 8th graders to Hooters?
 

This really happened. They said they took them there because it was the only restaurant around that could hold them all. The parents seemed to be more concerned about the effects on the girls that were in the group. Personally I think it should be a big deal. Like people have pointed out before you can see alot worse on tv and the beach.

I understand they can see more on TV or at the beach but it's the fact that a school district would condone this and then try to defend themselves with that fact that it was the only restuarant large enough to seat them. I think the superintendent was just assinine to even think of stopping there.

No business what-so-ever!

what the hell?!?! if i wanted my son looked ass and titties, i'd give him a damn playboy and leave nothing to the imagination.

I think kids need a better sense of imagination.

CTFU!
 

Well, at least it would have been super cheap - the boys would have been so busy staring they wouldn't have bothered to eat.

Re: CTFU!
 

and the teachers wouldn't have to worry about them being hyperactive for the rest of the day.. .after a HOOTERS bathroom break for them. . .most would just want to go to sleep. . .

Steve are you really a semi prude!? :D

My god, what a topic of conversation on a semi adult web site!

Never been in a Hooters, but last I heard, they had clothes on.

Skimpy, but not sure!

Could always take them to a truck stop where the girls wore checkered dresses with buttoned lace collors up to the double chins! Oops maybe so skinny from working dishes to Truckers to look good in any thing!

Hell, go int an AppleBees, home in KC area, put shorts ond tight things on them and WAAAHOOO! If food is bad, wont go anyway. Take them to Chucky-Cheese with mechanical animals and crappy food! Da!

Ride a buggy behind a horse and see what that would do for kids!

Hell they no more than most of you did a few years back, me, it was a lot of a fews years back!:D

No...not cool.

They could've ordered a pizza.

Yes, you can see more skin on tv or the beach, but I wouldn't expect teachers to take kids to the beach, or to watch tv. I don't think it was appropriate.

Very good points.:D

Shoot man, my parents used to take us to Show Me's (Missouri's version of Hooter's :D) after church some Sunday's at that age and we turned out fine. The wings were awsome, but they were greasier than my grandmother's hair.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Just kidding! ;)

They should have checked with the parents first. What the heck were the adults in charge thinking?! :rolleyes:

Forget about the T&A they'd see.. Think of the thousands of calories and all the saturated fat they're making those poor kids eat in those wings. Probably result in congestive heart failure later on down the road.

That should be worth at least 100 million or so in punative damages.

They have no business taking kids that age to any restaurant that serves alcohol, IMO.

Most restaurants around here serve alcohol.

Same for here. :eek:

Off the top of my head, I can't think of many non-fast food restaurants that don't serve alcohol.

This is the reason why the world is going to hell, I'll tell ya. :( ;)

Hooters seems to be an adult themed restaurant. I have never eaten there so I don't know from first hand experience. If the kids went there with their own parents, it is one thing, but the adult chaperones took them there. There are fast food places all over the place. They couldn't find a Mickey D's or BK or a pizza place?! Give me a freakin' break. I hate when adults who are supposed to be in charge of children do stupid things. :mad: What's next dinner at Scores?!

I am really all riled up about this.

I know it's weird that I'm quoting myself but anyhoo... :)

I figure there is always something like a Denny's or an Eat-n-Park around. Or even a fast food place.

Denny's in Valdosta serves beer.

No.

that's per kid, right? they'll sue for hooters making them fat?

Have any of the kids spoken up? It's what they thought that we really need to be worried about.

probably thought it was great...you think a 10 year old boy wouldn't jump at the chance to look at some half naked broads running around?

They are in jr. high so you would hope that there will be some mature ones. Are any of the parents taking action?
P.S. Who stills says broads?

Unacceptable.

Come on now, it's Hooter's, not a strip club.

I think some of you are giving middle schoolers too much credit for being mature. They all *WANT* to be mature, to be older. It's so much so that they create these high drama relationships and rush getting into sexual relationships because that's what they think adults do. Yeah, let's throw Hooters in the equation to completely FUBAR their little warped minds.

I, myself, am a teacher and there would have to be kids dying of dehydration and hell would have to freeze over for me to stop at Hooter's with kids.

Tracy, Tracy...

you are SO still a Pittsburgher - thinking there is an Eat 'n' Park on every corner! :D Next thing we know you'll be saying they should have made the kids walk over the bridge to get to the bus. :)

hey, sometimes it still slips out.

oh
my
god.

i can't imagine that ever flying in my school system. EEK!

That was the front page story here yesterday morning, and let me tell you there are a LOT of pissed off parents here. One lady I know is very religious whose son was there. Her son didn't seem to think too much of it, but she is irate.

My God people, IT'S HOOTERS! They sponsered my high school football team, should we stop that just because the servers wear shorts and t shirts? Would you rather they be served by women in full veils? Sure Hooters was not the best descision, but I'm pretty sure their "virgin" eyes won't be scared for too long. Almost every middle school male has gotten their hands on a playboy and most of the girls have probally seem a naked woman before too. All I have to say is did it hurt when you fell and that stuck got shoved up your...well you know.

Hooters is a family restaurant...

I'm sure most 7th & 8th graders have seen MUCH more!

whn did they start doing that?
is that because they're right near the hotel?




and what's wrong with saying 'broads'?
it's an NY/Jersey thing from the past. . .
after watching Mafia movies, i find myself saying 'broad' for weeks. . .

They have for years, they do they just do put it in the menu. Yes it is near a hotel.

I remember when I was in high school and we weren't allowed to watch any R rated movies. And in middle school, we couldn't watch PG-13 movies. These things required parental permission slips before the teachers could show them because of the content.

Yes, the women at Hooters are clothed, but at the same time, much of what is in a PG-13 movie isn't that excessive, but still requires permission. Kids aren't stupid, contrary to what we'd like to believe (I work at a daycare center with elementary and middle school kids and know full well what they are capable of and what they know), I think that it should still be up to the parents as to whether or not their children go into a restaurant with a more mature clientele.
