Teacher in vampire web storm

Hyndburn Council leader Peter Britcliffe, whose daughter attends the school in Queen's Road West, Accrington, said: "This is a really sad story, but this is probably the best outcome.

"There are great sensitivities surrounding working with children and for very good reason, and I think she will have struggled to maintain the respect and authority if she had returned."

Great sensitivities surrounding a teacher who has actually done nothing wrong and yet convicted perverts are considered no danger to the public as taxi drivers. Bit of a lack of logic there I think.

It's a great shame this teacher has been hounded out of her job because in the end it's the pupils who lose out.

Seeing as you are talking about QEGS they were probably all of the above and more . Like you say it does not matter. How they act in school is what matters.

You Pratt Peter. The best outcome would have been for this never to become an issue in the first place, since it did become a public matter it would have been appropriate as a parent of a pupil to stand up and be counted and show that there is no place in our schools for narrow minded inflexible never do wells. All this now coming on the back of yet another sex pest on the streets providing transport to the public, what faith should the voting public have in the borough council?

[garinda]

I think it is very sad the the borough has lost someone who seemed a very talented teacher.

Totally agree Rindy. Whoever raised the complaint should be ashamed of themselves.

So Abbie do you like her book? What joke! You can't expect to be a teacher and write this kind of smut. It just does not work. Sooner or later something will happen.
And yea she is hot and any guy in her class is going to fantasize about her and not pay attention to what she is trying to teach him. If she is interested in stuff like that how long till she acts on it if she hasn't already?

I just had to post this comment from the Washington Post. It could only come from someone called 'Chuck'

I am interested to know if all American female teachers have to be ugly old mingers so that the male students do not sit there in a state of arousal all day and not pay attention to what is being taught.

Then again we are talking about America so they might just have passed such a law.

I do feel very sorry for the lady in question. The way this story has been reported is so unfair. I wish her MySpace site was still up so we could make our minds up for ourselves.

"... probably the best outcome...."

translates as 'probably the best outcome for him because he doesn't actually have to print his views or take a stand'.

Now that she is no longer at St Christopher's maybe she's got another one. I do agree though that it's a pity the original was taken down. The so-called 'provocative photograph' of her was nothing more than a publicity shot. There are equally 'provocative' photos in every photographer's shop window on display for all to see.

wonder who snitched on her in the first place??
