Did anyone read in last nights star about the arts teacher telling his pupils about the sexual relationships he'd had.

I went to this school when it was herries, nothing changes then it's still rubbish!

So what? Its his business to tell.

Well I think it's pervy!

I doubt he will be telling them any thing much about sex they dont already know in this day and age:suspect:

Well yeah true but for a teacher to tell pupils all about people he's had sex with, it's wrong, it's his private life and he's entitled to one but he shouldn't be telling 14 and 15 year olds about it. If I was the parent of a kid going there I'd be well mad!
Oh well you know what they say them that talk about it the most get it least!

It's not quite as simple as that LJB.
As somebody who works in education I know only too well the tightrope that teachers are walking on a daily basis when one simple slip of the tongue could potentially end up with them being put on the sex offenders register whereas pupils are allowed to say virtually anything and receive nothing worse than being expelled for a few days.
As I understand it, the teacher in question was an art teacher and had, at some point, been discussing how sexually explicit photography produced 'artistically' was different to the 'top shelf' pornographic imagery that's produced purely for sexual arousal.
The mistake I think he made is that he'd carried on the conversation outside of the classroom and he'd linked it to his own personal life, talking about taking nude photos of his wife/girlfriend etc which the school had deemed was unprofessional as he'd overstepped the boundaries which the school/education department has put into place.
I'll get on to why these so called boundaries are a load of nonsense later on.

But didn't he tell pupils how he'd had sex with an 18 year old and not used condoms? I'm only repeating what the star printed. If it is the case, this is promoting unsafe sex, no wonder sti's are on the up.

I don't know exactly what was said but it's more important to know in what context he'd said that (if he did) than simply whether he said it or not.
eg; was he implying that he was glad he'd not used a condom or that he felt he'd been foolish not to.
It's very easy to take things at face value, put your own spin on it and then promote it as fact. Very dangerous.

Well yeah I suppose. And the news paper only writes from one side.
