STRIPPING in public is always going to get you in trouble.

Stripping in a classroom is going to be worse consequences particularly in this day and age of internet, phones and YouTube.

It had the worst consequences for 57-year-old Martin Rouse, a British teacher.

The overweight teacher stripped off his shirt in a classroom in front of his students, saying he “was trying to be cool.”

Instead, it has pretty much ended his teaching career.

The Daily Mail reports that teacher’s strip tease came to light after a student at Sudbury Upper School in Suffolk, eastern England taped the incident on a mobile phone and uploaded the video to YouTube.

A student at the school told the Daily Mail the pupils found the stunt hilarious.

“People were goading him saying, ‘I bet you haven’t got their muscles’…he told us all ‘I’ll show you’ and started taking off his shirt,” the newspaper quoted an unnamed student as saying.

Mr Rouse was fired immediately by the school principal David Forrest when a colleague found out what had happened.

The teacher was then banned from teaching at all 357 schools in the Suffolk County Council area.

We now know that everyone has to keep their kit on at all times; out in the public arena is a dangerous place.

Who knows when Big Brother is watching?

Especially with the amount of video phones around these days.
