This Biology Teacher Has Her Own Way Of Teaching About The Human Body At School
Debby Heerkens, a biology teacher at the Groene Hart Rijnwoude school in the Netherlands, came up with a truly memorable way to educate her students. She stood up on her desk and stripped off her clothes to reveal a full suit of spandex illustrated with accurate muscles and organs. Below that, another set of spandex illustrated where all the bones in her body are.
According to omroepwest.nl, Heerkens came up with the idea when she saw someone walking around with similar leggings. After finding them online, she kade sure that it was ok with the school’s director and then brought them in to class. Since the memorable class, students have been asking about when she’ll be having another similar lesson.

…skeletons…
…and muscles!

EXCELLENT! Seeing IS believing.... Making it interactive only helps the lesson become fun and interesting. It is wonderful when teachers care enough to go to this length.
What a wonderful way to make biology come alive. I bet she is a very popular teacher. As for her bra straps showing, good grief, the things you see on TV are a whole lot more revealing or just any ads.
I immediately had the feeling: this could only have been in the Netherlands (I'm Dutch = The Netherlands). Yup, we actually have teachers that do this kind of stuff. We are actually encouraged to do non-traditional exercises to help the kids remember the information better.
I had teachers like her instead of the mean-spirited old hags that I was stuck with from grades 2 through 9, my life may have turned out differently, lol
What a fantastic teacher. She will never be forgotten nor her teachings. As the English often express, "Brilliant!" In this case, both meanings are appropriate.
1. Those catsuits and leggings are from Black Milk. 2. It's nylon, not spandex.
Haha. I was going to say: "I bought those Black Milk leggings for my girlfriend a few years ago."

Its actually pretty cool seeing this, but alas I know in the United States some poor soul would have a problem with amazing ingenuity and intelligence saying it was "too sexual or revealing"
What a creative and fun way to make learning fun! Plus, that really takes "guts" to wear spandex to work!
Thankfully Germans don't share American's archaic view of the human body and sexuality. This is a great lesson.
