Sorry, I could not resist after several weeks of seeing Gerry's shirt. I am a teacher, so no ill will is meant! Ever since I saw that shirt I heard the play on words in my head. Regardless, Gerry pretends to be a child loving teacher, but models some yuck behavior. Let's hope Gerry's Kids don't pick up his yuck ways!! LOL

No offense to Gerry or teachers, but my daughter learned to read BEFORE she went to any school. I guess you could consider ME the teacher.

Your welcome??

What did Gerry's t-shirt say?

My husband and myself find it amazing that Gerry would be so "unhygenic"
considering he is a teacher.

We would think he would set a better
example for them, in the "cleansiness" department.

We started rooting for Gerry, as he is in our same age group, however,
reading the live feeds
about not washing his hands, coughing all over
the food, burping, laying on pillows in his sweat,
wearing the same shirts and socks,
putting his wet
dirty clothes in the dryer with clean clothes, washing his shorts in the kitchen sink
....It really turns my stomach.

He is at the bottom of the list for us now.

Spramp, the title of this thread is a clever play on words (you go, Kapow!). The shirt actually says: "If you can read this, thank a teacher."

Is Gerry teaching health? I agree that some of his habits have been offensive to some players and posters but how does that give us information to judge his ability as a teacher one way or another?

In 19 years of formal schooling I can't remember any of my teachers who made their bathing schedule or laundry habits part of the class.

Not a particular fan of Gerry but can't understand the perspective here. :(

Gerry's hygiene has NOTHING to do with his ability as a teacher. I am personally tired of reading all the nasty posts about Gerry when the other House Guests do more disgusting things like pop zits without washing hands, Chiara lays around on tables and counters with her nasty feet. Please. Give Gerry a break. Also, my MIL has some disgusting hygiene habits (the woman flossed her teeth at my dinner table, takes a bath every 2 or 3 days) BUT she is truly an awesome teacher and all her students and the parents love her.

Front: "If this shirt is dry, it's 'cos I put it in the dryer with Tanya's clean clothes"

Back: "Soon-To-Be Big Brother Evictee"

his t-shirts look homemade anyway....

Dee, ITA

I think Americans take Personal habits and hygiene to the extreme.

Just because he doesn't scour his whole body with antibacterial products 14 times a day does not make him a bad person.

i'm a teacher and i know teachers who have poor hygiene. it's like the 'Christians aren't perfect' theme in another thread. teachers don't live at school--like many kids think!--and do many things their students don't/shouldn't see. as for the t-shirt, i have always found that little saying trite. you won't catch a snee wearing one of those; i'll be in my tvch t-shirt! yeah, baby!

Hey mods, I only appear on sexy boards, so can I get a sexy version of the TVCH t-shirt? A tight midriff-bearing one showing off my store bought goodies would do the trick. Thanks.

To be grammatically correct, it is "You're welcome." and "...lying on pillows..." (I only bring it up because we're talking about teachers.) Don't flame me, I'm not trying to offend anyone.

BTW, teachers are people too!

Julieboo -

While you were at it, why didn't you correct the spelling of "deleteing" and "tounge"?

How do so many threads turn into Gerry Bashing ones?

Could I also get a teacher to correct my errors as english is not my best subject 20 years out of school and one brain damage illness later. :)
