"SFUSD is aware of the allegations regarding inappropriate questions on a teacher's exam and other related concerns. We take these concerns seriously and are actively investigating."
"Tom Chan, a Lowell math teacher, included quiz questions that asked students to figure out how much it would cost to pay for dinner for girls who weigh 120 versus 220 pounds. Another question, which was allegedly titled 'Mr. Chan vs. The Fat Kid (part 2),' appeared to be fat-shaming."
"SFUSD also encourages students to reach out to a trusted adult who can help them complete an incident report if needed. Lowell administrators are in contact with student leaders and review district policy on investigations twice a year."
The San Francisco Unified School District launched an investigation into a Lowell High School math teacher following allegations of inappropriate exam questions containing fat-shaming and sexist content. According to reports, the teacher included quiz questions comparing costs based on students' weights and questions with titles suggesting fat-shaming. District officials confirmed awareness of the concerns and stated they are actively investigating. The district emphasized that students have multiple reporting channels available, including an anonymous reporting system, and that administrators maintain regular contact with student leaders. The investigation is classified as a personnel matter, limiting public disclosure of additional details.
