 This guy should know better. Especially because he is a teacher, AND he teaches female students of this age. Winking, although generally innocent, has no place in a school setting between teachers and students. I say, that if he continues to do this, and it makes your gf uncomfortable, she has every right to talk to the head of the school and make mention of it. They will handle the winking problem, and the teacher will be instructed that it is not acceptable behavior for a role model to be singling out a particular FEMALE student like this. ALL teachers are taught what is acceptable classroom behavior as part of thier teaching education. Winking can certainly be misconstrued as a sexual gesture... it's common knowledge, and is forbidden in 'my' school district. Tell his boss, supervisor, the school principal. It will be handled.

 right there is winking and there is winking.
I sometimes unconsciously use winking with people when finishing a conversation, or saying alright to someone. Its one of those things your body naturally does.
Then there is suggestive winking when you fancy someone.
I think we need to accetain whether this teacher naturally winks in his conversation, or his giving his pupil the come on.
It would be a shame for this teacher to get into trouble for something he dosen't even realise he is doing.
I have noticed that a hell of a lot of people use winking in conversation, whether it be to get a point accross, to tell you they are joking, saying hello or goodby.

 I don't think he should wink at her if it's making her feel uncomfortable but if it's just winking and not coupled with any other type of inappropriate behaviour then it's probably nothing to be concerned about. Most people see winking as a harmless thing although it seems to me that this teacher should know better than to do it to a teenager who might take it in the wrong way. However, if he does anything which seems inappropriate or things that make your girlfriend uncomfortable then encourage her to tell a parents or senior teacher. Hope this helps.

 No he shouldnt be winking at her, if she is concerned tell her to talk to a school councilor or a parent that she feels she can trust.
