Yes I believe the comment ""You rock my undies off" would be inappropriate for a teacher to say to any student, especially a 7 year old. I would suggest reporting it to the Principal as soon as possible so the teacher can be instructed not to make such comments and possibly be disciplined.

This is not really a legal question, but a question best answered by school teachers and school administrators. I'll give it my best shot as a non-expert in this area. I'd say it depends on the age of the student, the setting in which the statement was made, the general attitude and culture of the class being taught, and the context surrounding the statement. In many settings, I'd say it is not inappropriate. It is certainly not illegal, which is all I'm professionally qualified to render an opinion on.

It might depend on the context in which it was said but it sounds like it is not an appropriate thing to say to a 7 year old.

Sounds like it to me. Have you talked to the principal or the board of education/ you should.

Morally yes. You can probably get the teacher in big trouble, but what's your goal? You might speak to the teacher and let he or she know that it's inappropriate and will not be tolerated in the future. I would doubt your child is emotionally traumatized by this statement, so suing does not make sense to me since there are no damages.

Yes! It should be reported to the principal immediately.

Yes, absolutely. That's highly inappropriate, and I'm very sorry that happened.

Not smart, possibly inappropriate, but I would have to know the context.
