Swinging teachers

Yes, says I.
My opinion. I don't know what a combatting is, but I know that you don't need a vocation to be a teacher. Just have resilience, energy, humour and comfy shoes.

Absolutely. Call it a vocation and it's low pay, long hours and constant slagging off. Oh, and folks being intrusive about your sex life.

Exactly! It is just a job and a shit one at that. All the ‘calling’ and ‘vocation’ bollocks is used as an excuse to treat teachers like shit!

says you @LeticiaMorales , I don’t agree. Teaching is typically considered a combatting as well as a profession. It’s very hard to be a teacher if you don’t have a vocation

It's not a vocation. It's a job.

What does everyone think if a teacher is a stripper in her spare time? Or has an Only Fans account? I think teachers should be required not to bring the vocation into disrepute

No matter what our opinions are here, the teacher is at risk of losing their job if anyone reports them to the school they work at. Obviously, it would need some element of proof, but some people are vindictive enough to eg share texts of private conversations in which certain things are discussed.

Teachers know that any actions in their private life that bring the profession or school they work at into disrepute could lead to the sack or being struck off. Teachers have been sacked in the past due to kids finding pics of them on social media clearly drunk or eg accidentally flashing a boob or bum in a video.

You go into training knowing that your private life is scrutinised so they know what they're doing.

Maybe, like a huge number of teachers, this person hates their job and is gleefully nobbing their way to the sack for shits and giggles?

Just to add, I once worked in a school where the married depute was shagging one of the also married teaching staff, to the full knowledge of everyone from the head to the cleaners, some parents and eventually even some children! No one in any regulatory body of any form cared, and he was reported both to our local authority and to the GTCS by several people due to the power imbalance issue, allowing children to discover the situation (caught kissing in an unlocked classroom) and disciplining staff who raised a moral concern. Private lives are private, even when immoral, so consenting adults swinging will be a non issue.

True

Teachers are adult human people. The majority of adult human people have sex, in its many forms, because its what adults do. Presumably the woman who is horrified, had sex at least once, since she is a parent . What someone else does in their leisure time is none of her business, no matter how 'out there' it might be

Definitely this.

Unless they have a website advertising themselves as a swinger and outing where they work, no one they report it to will be remotely interested.

Are they a secondary school teacher? I wouldn't put it past some kids to have created a profile.

Parents joining in is taking it a bit far!

And this, my dudes, is why being a teacher is such a joy.

How does having sex with more than one person qualify as a safeguarding issue? Why does it matter whether the world and his/her/their wife knows what someone does with their genitals as long as it is not in front of the children?

Your child is not less safe because Mrs Robertson had a threesome with the captain of the rugby club and a passing dockworker.

Me too!

There's a very beautifully done-up house near us that got the reputation of being a swingers' venue/possible brothel a few years back. Lots of glamorous people coming-and-going (I should probably rephrase the first half of that, shouldn't I?) at all hours. After a few weeks, the glamorous ones (male and female) started going to the local pub where they made friends and revealed that it was a venue for shooting porn movies. This was much less interesting and they were made welcome

I think the business went broke during Covid.

Gaydar started in 1999.

Section 28 repealed in 2003
Grindr started in 2009

My kid's TA went to a party (that I was also present at) in blackface. I was stunned. My child is mixed race. I didn't say anything to the school's head. But I did (privately) question her judgement, and was very wary of her interactions with my child after that. Because her attitude towards ethnic minorities through her actions at that party, and consequently towards pupils from minority backgrounds, was relevant to her job.

The sex life of a teacher with other consenting adults bears no relevance to their job.

Yes, but we use the internet in 2025

People tend to post explicit pictures often viewable to anyone. Lots of people also post face pictures. If someone had both types on their profile whilst being a registered teacher, doctor, social worker or similar I'd expect their regulator to investigate if it was reported to them.

Although I haven't tried it, I am sure swinging can be very educational.

😳

give them the same treatment they propose to give the teacher and report to school?

What anyone does as part of their sex life is absolutely nothing to do with their job if its with legally consenting adults.
