This reminds me of a critique a fellow instructor of mine got while 
teaching an engineering class. In her formal evaluation, under the part 
where it asks what the instructor could do to be more effective.  One 
student's response "make yourself uglier; I was too overcome by sexual 
desire to learn from you".  For the record, she dressed in skirts and 
nice shirts, very professionally.

If your teacher had not been "drop dead gorgeous" would this have been a 
problem for you?

What do the rest of you think?
