Re: Teacher in vampire web storm

Ironic, isn't it, how many of the folks who complain about single mothers on the dole also wish to deny them one of the careers that would best enable them to both make a living and care for their kids outside of school hours.

Funny how they don't seem at all concerned about the single dads in the same way!

I hope it boosts the sales of her book! :D

I feel sorry for the pupils in the middle of their GCSE work being disrupted by this nonsense.

Steeljack doesn't seem all that keen on defending his pitiful argument;maybe he is at the library stocking up on vampire books !;)
(oh and Steeljack,don't think it would be wise to attend a meet if you are ever over here;us "slappers" don't forgive or forget!)

Wow just been reading that US link. Crikey, talk about people pouting off about something they know nothing about. Anybody would think she'd been having class orgies and drinkimg the pupil's blood!

I've just ordered her book from amazon. I hope she sells millions and prospers from all this free publicity.
It's just a shame that her pupil's are going to suffer whilst she is absent from school. She is obviously a fantastic teacher judging by the amount of good comments left by past and present pupils on the telegraph's website.
Good luck to you Mrs Goldstone, your senior management team, union and govenors should be backing you, writing a fictional book is not illegal or innapropriate.

In fact you'd think it would be an asset wouldn't you?

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm

Quite agree, Willow, the school should be happy to have an English teacher who's also a published novelist working in the grand literary tradition of gothic horror. As Garinda said, it must be great for her pupils to be taught English by someone who's had a book published. Personally, I would've found it really inspiring. As for the so-called "provocative" pose, if it was on the cover of Woman's Own, it wouldn't raise an eyebrow! Peter Britcliffe's comments seem amazingly narrow-minded for a council leader and as for her Union rep, I certainly wouldn't like to have her protecting my rights! Perhaps the problem is that she breaks the mould and small-minded people feel threatened by her individuality.

As for you, Steeljack, I must admit I was surprised by your comments, as I had you down as a fairly tolerant sort of bloke. Many years ago before I met her, my missus was a single mum who brought up two daughters, while following a career and made a success of both. I would love to hear you call her a "slapper" to her face. Don't think you'd do it a second time!

Re: Teacher in vampire web storm

I think this lady deserves a pat on the back for going ahead and getting the book published, I hope it becomes a best seller. Those who condem her for her activities on the web in her OWN time should remember she is an individual and it seems quite a talented writer, move with the times we are in 2007, and "fangs ain't what they used to be".

I would probably vote for him, it might have been a better choice than the last election, I had to choose between Tory (Peter Britcliffe) , Labour (Gayle Knight) and Lib Dem (Bill Greene).

Like Rindy says 'I always back a winner' oops I forgot he didn't that time :p
