Ok harassing is out of line and as a teacher he should have intervened. WE all agree on that. Pointing out that the reason the other students were saying that is because of envy that she is so far ahead of them should have been enough. But talking about the low numbers of women and lack of diversity in IT is like saying we should treat women special because there's not many in our field. We should treat the like a fellow human being and colleague but stop making us idolize women, that rubs me the wrong way. Bottom line the teacher had no passion for programming and shouldn't have been teaching in the first place.
