Teacher in vampire web storm
Read this in tomorrows Observer ( that I got tonight)
 Pupils and parents have rallied to the defence of an Accrington teacher who has been asked to stay at home while her church school investigates complaints about her vampire Gothic horror website.  To cut a long story short.....this poor teacher, who teaches English and Drama at St.Christopher's has been asked to stay at home while they investigate complaints about 'Lurid' personal website. The complaining dim wits said " It features adult content with Vampire eroticism, violence and blood lust". Some parents from st.Christopher's said " it's inappropriate for a teacher of a church school to be writing things like this. Gothic Horror classics such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein And Bram Stokers Dracula are on the syllabus of the assessment and Qualification Alliance, the largest of the three English GCSE's and A-levels. I say get a life you bloody busy bodies.............. This lady is married with a child...( and no he aint Dracula and the child ain't Satan.)........... what do you think??  |

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm
What she does in her spare time doesn't affect her teaching ability does it? Is she advertising the website to her pupils? I assume not. They'd probably never heard of it until now.
Plenty of stuff in the English literature syllabus has a fairly adult content and would not have been approved reading material 30 or 40 years ago. Mind you, not having seen the offending website it's difficult to have a real opinion.

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm
Parents of even secondary school kids must still be relatively young themselves and be fairly savvy about the world today.
Unbelievable that complatints should arise of this nature. Pathetic. |

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm
Apparently someone on Myspace had asked her who she would most like to meet....and she said " Dracula on a dark Sexy night" ........ and?? there are worse people in Accy you could meet than Dracula on a dark night. COME ON.
The teachers book Gabriele Caccini - the vampire gene book 1 is about a 17th century vampire who is drugged on Ecstasy by a fellow student. It has been recommended by the GOOD BOOK GUIDE. And as for mildly erotic - Most of shakespear's were too..... |

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm
'Hyndburn Council leader Peter Britcliffe, whose daughter attends the school in Queen's Road West, Accrington, said the revelations were shocking.'
http://www.lancashireeveningtelegrap...e_websites.php Why? Because there is an English teacher in the borough that can write well enough actually to have her work published? Good luck to her, and if she is disciplined it'll be outrageous.

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm
More bull pats. The individual is free to follow their own interests irrespective of their vocation. Most high officials are involved in some organization or other that most right minded people would find peculiar, things like the Mason’s, Rotary Clubs, Shirt lifters Supporters Club and the like. If this person was preaching sucking blood out of virgin pussy cats I’d be concerned. Live and let live. Get the person back to work.

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm
sorry have to disagree , teachers are held , or should be to a higher standard than ordinary folks , and posing like a 'tart' on a web-site that is aimed mainly at younger folks is hardly responsible behaviour and sets a bad example to her young charges .
