It always amazes me as a former teacher, that Chris Woodhead the previous Chief Inspector of Schools is still invited by the BBC and other networks to comment on controvertial issues in education. Having admitted to having sex with pupils, which he described as 'an enriching experience for all', he would today appear on the Sex Offenders Register.
We should still remember that the reason this instance of breach of trust is so shocking is that it is so rare.

Dr Kealey was making a joke, one has only to watch pupils coming off the school bus to see yong girls dressed up like hookers, theres's little wrong with admiring the scenery, its understanding that that is wherethe admiration stops. Perhaps it's time we stopped taking ourselves quite so seriously. If parents feel upset by Dr Kealey

Dr Kealey was making a joke, one has only to watch pupils coming off the school bus to see yong girls dressed up like hookers, theres's little wrong with admiring the scenery, its understanding that that is wherethe admiration stops. Perhaps it's time we stopped taking ourselves quite so seriously. If parents feel upset by Dr Kealey, then they should ensure their kids stick to properly worn school uniform, and university students might remind themselves that they are there to learn, not going to a nightclub.

As female teacher I am constantly amazed by what parents think is appropriate dress for school. Girls with very tight trousers that slide down at every opportunity, skirts so short that they skim the backside. Boys with their trousers hanging to reveal their underpants. (What's with that one?) Make-up so thick the girls looks like an old Tango advert. I wear office dress for school, so do my colleagues. School is not a sexual peep show. Everyone should be dressed appropriately for a day working not a day oggling. Aren't evenings and weekends enough?

If you are going for Muslem Shiria law why not chop accademics hands of for theft of our tax money?

Lazevnik: You obviously had a bed time at school and judge everything by your experience. I would say the majority of today's "educators" are in the job because they actually love teaching and want their students to have better lives. Unfortunately, the VERY small minority take advantage of their positions and lead the profession into disrepute.
There are many laws in place to stop "educators" from treating their students as objects, but that also means that many students don't get the PROPER attention they need.
I had a brilliant teacher when I was at school, but in today's society and under the existing laws he would be dismissed and would face criminal charges.

I agree somewhat with hopkins374; blame has to fall (in part) on the parents. If they made their children follow the dress code, there wouldn't be so many problems. However, that can also be said for the students and the school itself. If the staff were to enforce the dress code at school, there would be no problems with "provocatively" dressed students.

Look at the comments of teacher elaine_damian above full of swear-words that have been blocked out.
This is the type of language that is being forced upon our children be these evil parasites.

Analyse at your own comment (quoted below) I that it shows the hypocrisy of your support for the parasites!
'I had a brilliant teacher when I was at school, but in today's society and under the existing laws he would be dismissed and would face criminal charges.'

As an Advanced Skills Teacher, I fully support what 'bingtang112003' said above. The problem with the view by 'lazevnik' is that, first, it illustrates how the stupid, unintelligent mind reads these kinds of media stories (suggesting that the whole education system is corrupt and we should do away with it altogether via abolition of its institutions, thus return to the Stone Age); and, second, it feeds off the media frenzy surrounding a minority of 'sick and stupid' individuals, who do not represent the majority of the profession. It is typical of the media to focus on these to shock, sensationalise and entertain. It is typical of the media to focus on the bad and the ugly rather than the good, as that sell newspapers. However, the media would then accuse me of generalising about them! Well, that is exactly what the media has made ignorant people like 'lazenvik' do: to generalise about educationalists! I would suggest that people like the Vice Chancellor of Buckingham University display a bit more intelligence that is presupposed by their post; that more is done by the media to celebrate the excellent work done by the majority of educationalists than emboss the immoral antics of the minority; and that people like 'lazenvik' try visiting these institutions before making stupid, crass assertions in public forums that could misinform equally obtuse minds that are equally disillusioned with our education system.

Anyone who calls themselves "Ms" is always going to be feeling extremely angry and insulted at these comments.

Others can see the satire.

If the media stopped the paedo-phobia then the Miss Jean Brodiesque actions of some would be regarded as the rare occurrences they are and whilst shocking are not the reason to stigmatize every teacher or adult.
