Social experiment from 1965 tested how students reacted to having an attractive teacher

Social media is obsessed with an old social experiment showing kids react in shock when they meet their attractive new teacher.

A social experiment from 1965 showing the reactions of students who were introduced to an attractive teacher has gone viral recently.

Watch it for yourself below:

It’s not unusual for students to have innocent crushes on their teachers, but very few would have had their immediate reactions filmed and shown on television.

Several unsuspecting girls and boys were introduced to an attractive teacher in this classic clip that is almost 60-years-old. When the teacher leaves the room, the children react in disbelief and excitement.

The first experiment shows two girls who have a brief chat with their ‘handsome’ new male teacher. His smirk, perfectly coiffed hair and suit has an immediate effect on both young ladies, with one of the girls responding only by staring at the man with a blank stare.

“I’d like to know whether the girls would like to be in my class,” he says in a movie star-like voice.

When the teacher is called away, the girls look at each other and gasp. They’re in a state of utter hock and mumble to each other in disbelief – especially because the gentleman is ‘young’.

The Candid Camera crew pulled the same trick on two boys, in which a tall blonde teacher walks into the classroom and leaves them stunned.

The teacher sits on the desk in front of the two boys and politely shakes their hands. She appears to introduce herself as ‘Miss Darling’ and reveals she is the new social studies teacher. Viewers have said she is Swedish model and Miss Sweden 1961 Gunilla Knutsson.

When she gets called away by another member of staff, the two boys can barely contain their excitement.

The same social experiment is done on two more boys who giggle and one even collapses into his chair. The social experiments have had a huge reaction on social media.

“We literally had this conversation today with my family,” one TikTok commenter wrote. “No matter what society says now, if you’re good looking you’ve got people’s attention.”

One thing that is consistent across generations is crushing on teachers, with another TikTok user writing: ‘Still the same 60 [years] later.”

Lots of people agreed, as someone else shared: “The more things change, the more things stay the same.”

A fourth joked: “Every single one they looked at each other.”

However, a fifth person commented: “You couldn’t film that today. It would be filled with beeps blurting out what the boys say.”
