'Sexiest' Teacher Trouble Over Thong Web Pics - Yahoo! News UK

This is absolutely ridiculous. How is it inappropriate for a teacher? She obviously didn't do it during work hours and I fail to see how it would have any impact whatsoever on her work. We can safely assume she didn't parade about in the gym in her underwear so this "disciplinary action" is un-needed and to my mind illegal.

This country is just confusing me so much these days.

We'll be back to no showing of bare skin above the ankle and burning heretics soon.

Actually one discussion came along where someone said that "if the brits keep this up, hell, they'll be the new nazi empire"(half jokingly i guess, don't ask me).

The funny thing about it wouold be that germany most likely would join in the fight against the evil axis :lol:

Now on topic;

Bullsh*t and only thing wrongg about it is that that teacher isn't mine.

 

[kiliarien]

I'm a teacher and I fully support her - she can do what she likes in her own time if it isn't illegal or brings the school into serious disripute, which this clearly does not.

The headteacher actually doesn't have a legal leg to stand on and if he tries anything he might as well pull down his pants and hand the unions a large pick axe because they will have him shitting diamonds in a week. That said, just like any job ist is so easy to make it so difficult and uncomfortable to work in an environment that she would resign/get a new job anyway.

Educational leaders are all fooking knobs.

Its says she's facing disciplinary action, not the sack. Would be wholly wrong if she were sacked. After all its was in her own time. And if she can earn a few bob out of it, fair play. Teachers get paid appallingly low wages for the amount of shit they have to go through with the kids all giving it large & playing up all the time, and the bloody good job they do trying to train the yoof of today. But I can see why she's get her fingers wrapped - as a teacher she was probably told of her responsibilities towards the community and children and that she is expected to maintain a degree of dignity / moral highground in her capacity as teacher.

Surely there are more important things local authorities / schools should be focussing on.

On that.. You just KNOW the head of the school was looking at porn when he found those photos.

Exactly! But that seems to be an entirely different matter. He should be shot by an execution squad for his hypocrisy.

 

[Corran]

"They were absolutely not pornographic but do you want to see your teacher in that way? Probably not."


Haha... who is this guy kidding. I think most kids with a teacher that looks like that would definately want to see her in that way... certainly would make school more interesting

 

[Gorbachioo]

Honestly, i dont think its ok.

To be a teacher you need authority and you wont have that if your students jerk off at your pictures. Shes supposed to set an example for her students.

 

[CorNokZ]

Be glad all your teachers do is get photographed in their thongs

Just yesterday a danish headmaster of a high school got arrested for having child pornography on his computer, which he sent in to be repaired.......

tbh, my old high school Religion Education tutor was hawt. Only reason people went to class tbh..

i know i did and i had no pictures.

 

[CorNokZ]

i know i did and i had no pictures.

seconded.. My old danish teacher was ~180cm, blond, legs that would never end, a perfect chest and was a volleyball player named Lotte

There I was trying to keep track of what was happening in her class.. AND I JIZZED IN MY PANTS

 

[Amanita]

Well, it might affect her job now its all over the news, especially the way the kids treat her now.

 

[Huntingtons]

cant rep cocknocks... SO I JIZZED IN MY PANTS!

/edit couldnt think of anything that rhymed

What he said. What's done outside of the job, her LEA nor her employer can do jack shit about it.

Certain professions require you to behave even when you're not working. A judge is expected to follow the law, an army officer is expected to behave in a respectable manner outside work and in the same way a teacher must be respectable even when shes not working.

I dont know how that is a justification. If you're simply pointing out that the accusations have no legal basis then fine. But if you're saying that teachers should be able to do whatever they want outside work then i think you're wrong.

 

[Bugz]

Gorb everyone is expected to follow the law lol.

 

[Gorbachioo]

Gorb everyone is expected to follow the law lol.

lolol ok?

Did i say something else?

 

[BloodOmen]

More like some unfit fat horrible slag looked her and thought "Gee, i'm jealous i'll make a complaint about it" aka 99% of chav mothers.. fat horrible dwarf like *****.

 

[Bugz]

lolol ok?

Did i say something else?

Just pointing out how shit a point it was .

 

[Gorbachioo]

Just pointing out how shit a point it was .

The people who replied made it sound like all teachers should pose in nude pictures. I said that while there are no legal obsticles to do that its still not "ok".


Get it now? I know its difficult..

 

[Bugz]

Why does stating a 'judge has to follow the law' help your argument in any way then?

Oh and I never got an inkling that everyone was saying all teachers SHOULD post in nude pictures. They simply questioned the power of the headteacher to put so much attention on it and indeed the rights of people to complain about it.

Besides, nude pictures causing controversy is just an example of how people like you, and many other people in this sad, depressing country can't seem to get their head around the values of liberty and free-will. Or people like you have such minimal interactions with sexual 'issues' that a picture of a teacher in a thong is 'appalling.'

Personally, Gordon Brown could be in the paper tomorrow having a threesome with his wife and next doors neighbor and I wouldn't give two hoots - what he does in his time is up to him. It would not detract from his work; just the opinion of others towards him, and that is not his problem.

People seem to pin all the blame on the 'offender'; and don't stop to examine how we could change OUR attitudes to the situation. That includes you Gorb. Sexual tolerance; liberty; free will; traditional roles etc. are all changing in today's society. Get with the times.

Having worked for an LEA in the past, I happen to know the working conditions for contracts such as these, it's the legal aspects that I am pointing to and what her obligations are towards her own contract. Outside of the working conditions, they have no leg to stand on. Her public and private life are 3 dimensional in this case. If she wants to publicly do this for a website and she's being paid to do it, then her employer (the Local Education Authority) have no say on it. What she does and how she performs inside the school grounds and how she performs in marking the kids work at her homeward bound extra curricula work they do have a say over it. She can only be condemned over her performance. Other than that, she does what she likes.

The only binding process for professions asking you to behave in a certain way are covered by the official secrets act. Anything else and it's a employment tribunal if they try to constructively or unfairly dismiss. So the dilema the school has will be wether or not they have the funds to dismiss her in any way possible? Afraid not, the LEA will be on a certain amount of limited funding to say the least, the court costs will break that finance equation. Would be better in the long run just to let her run out her contract and let her move on and obviously not renew it. Doing that, they can do what they like as they have legally bound and complied to her contract and have a right not to renew it.

i bet her students dont mind

I meant that judges are expected to be model citizens. Its perfectly understandable if you read what followed.

What you dont seem to understand is that most people do not share your moral relativism. I believe in sexual tolerance and free will. But i also believe that people in certain positions (like the ones i mentioned, judge, army officer and teacher) must act in a respectable manner because they are supposed to set an example. They freely chose their professions knowing fully well what it required of them - to live above the standards that the rest of us set for ourselves. In the same way that a catholic priest lives in selibacy even though other catholics are allowed to have sex.

A teacher is supposed to set an example. That means that he has to be better than what others expect from themselves. If he cant handle that, then he needs to change his profession. Just like a catholic priest has to go if he can no longer be the example.

 

[Bugz]

So because a teacher poses for some sexy shots in her spare time, she stops becoming an example?

So if you consistently get value added and your students thoroughly enjoy your lessons but you were discovered to have taken some saucy snaps, you become a bad example?

So the moment you explore your sexuality out of your line of work, in your own house, using a camera, you become a bad example and you should quit your job.

Hello dictatorship. Nice to meet you.

 

[Bugz]

I don't have time to discuss this Gorb - I have about a zillion essays that are about a zillion days late.

I do agree with you that conduct is ESSENTIAL during work, but outside of work, it should be free ball.
