Parents rage as male teacher asked student to 'provide proof' she was on period A teacher has been branded "disgusting" after he allegedly demanded a pupil to "provide proof" she was on her period. Ahead of a new school term starting, parents have been left raging The summer holidays are whizzing by and kids will be back in school in a matter of weeks, but a certain story has sparked outrage. A return to school can be a shock for kids, who have more rules and less autonomy, even when it comes to their bodily functions; however, a teacher has sparked fury after allegedly demanding a pupil provide "proof" that she was menstruating. He has since been deemed "disgusting" as people struggle to comprehend how the situation is said to have played out. A video detailing the deeply troubling account has gone viral after being posted by Ebury Official online, who campaigns to give students a voice, where it's claimed a formal complaint had been lodged regarding the incident, though further details about this process remain scarce. Nevertheless, people have been left utterly horrified by the story, finding it difficult to believe that a teacher could ask such an intimate question while working at a school. This isn't the first time such an account has emerged either. Previously, other stories of a similar nature have also come to light. Outrage as Male Teacher Demands Student Provide Proof of Period In a clip shared online, the narrator said: "I have just got off the phone to a mum whose daughter was forced to get her used tampon out of the bin because the male teacher said it was impossible that she was on her period again because she was only on two weeks ago. "She was two minutes late to lesson because she couldn't get to the toilet in time because of the queue. So, when she got to the lesson, he demanded that she go and get it out of the bin, bring it into the classroom and prove that she was actually on her period. "This class had another 28 children in it - mixed boys and girls - and they witnessed the entire thing. It was a science teacher. "Have we still got fully grown adults that think girls just have a period once a month for five days? No uterus, no opinion. Can you imagine if your boss did this? I'm so angry." She continued by explaining that in situations like this, she finds it difficult to comprehend how the students end up being portrayed as they "look like the problem". It's something that makes her feel "sick", which is exactly why she felt it was crucial to draw attention to the matter. Viral Video Highlights Ignorance Around Irregular Menstrual Cycles and School Rules The clip has amassed thousands of views since being uploaded, with hundreds of viewers sharing their reactions. Many slammed the teacher's behaviour as "disgusting". One person wrote: "That's disgusting. That poor girl could have endometriosis." Another commented: "Why is he 'tracking' someone else's child's periods? Men need educating about periods as it is." A third said: "Has he heard of irregular cycles? PCOS? Endometriosis? Sometimes I can't believe the things I hear you say because they're so wild." Someone else responded: "What a complete scumbag." Meanwhile, another viewer remarked: "Please tell me she didn't do it. That's disgusting of any teacher to demand. She's probably SO embarrassed. I feel so bad for her." One user also highlighted: "Periods are sporadic in girls. Irregular. Their cycles take a while to become regular and how regular varies from woman to woman. 28 days is the average. Some cycles are shorter. Others longer." If you are aware of someone experiencing this, it is advisable for a parent or guardian to get in touch with the school directly to tackle the issue. Never ignore such a situation if anyone is being made to feel uneasy.
