"Since the start of this school year, we have been surveying teachers in South
Australia about sexist views among students. This is part of our research into
how online worlds are shaping Australian schooling.
In May, we reported the first round of our research. We found South Australian
teachers were experiencing a rise in sexist and other anti-social views among
students, similar to those reported interstate and overseas.
Teachers in our as yet unpublished study spoke of an alarming increase in
misogynistic, homophobic, racist, and sexist language and behaviours, mostly by
boys and young men targeting girls and young female teachers. This is prompting
some women to leave the profession.
A new theme to emerge from our research is bystander inaction. This is when
school leaders, other teachers, or parents downplay what is happening or do
nothing or little in response."
