This is taking a bit far, aren't teacher allowed to have any innocent fun outside school

[pigletmania]

I am [shocked] that this is a story tbh, just a group of ladies having fun on a hen night in their own time, there are no children or animals involved, and nobody is having sex in the photos so what! The parents reaction is too strong, as long as the teachers teach their children well so what! So they sit at home and have no fun then! Don't tell me that they have never had any fun themselves! So teachers should sit at home watching Embarassing Bodies on a Friday and Sat night then, to have fun and laughs with their mates would be , really the mentality of some peopl.

OMG those pictures could easily have been me a few years ago!

Saddo parents obviously need to get a life!

[Pictish]

Oh do be quiet Abra1d.

[pigletmania]

Abra1 its up to these women what they do to their bodies they are consenting adults fgs and not illegal, if you disagree with it does not make it wrong. Feminism gave us women choices and its these womens choice how they spend their hen night not yours.

There is NOTHING wrong with teachers going out and having fun....there is EVERYTHING wrong with publishing the pics on a social networking site.

[MumblingRagDoll]

what do they think? That their status in society is not affected by the pictures? It's so naieve....many people wuld be offended by their idea of a good time....not me...but then Im not the one who complained am I?

They should keep their pics private. FB is a networking site....the social is not referring to a social life as in getting pissed down the pub....but as in society....teachers, doctors, politicians all have moral responibility towards society....sticking pics of themselves online in "crazy" outfits is silly.

[BimboNo5]

WTF? The pictures look really tame to me!

[MumblingRagDoll]

soverylucky

Many people have very high moral standards...they don't want to think of their child being taught by someone who flashes their knickers in public....they dont like the idea and tbh neither would I.

[MumblingRagDoll]

Pole dancing in a short skirt? That's not tame.

[MainlyMaynie]

I cannot believe this story. What on earth is wrong with the woman who printed them off and put them through people's letterboxes? She is the one who should be being vilified as she clearly has no concept of appropriate behaviour. These are just normal young women on a night out, FFS.

[MumblingRagDoll]

But a teacher is not able to live as they choose necassarily MainlyMaynie.....they are responsible for our DC for a good chunk of their lives...they can't act as they like.

[BimboNo5]

Loads of women on nights out wear short skirts. She wasnt pole dancing. And what if she was? Its not like shes doing it in the classroom fgs.

My very elderly neighbour was telling me recently that she was refused a post in a leafy lane school because she was unmarried! I was under the impression we had moved on since then - most people have, apart from the DM and a couple of posters here.

Usually you can scroll to the bottom of DM stories to read of even more outrage in readers' comments, but even they say it's a non-story.

[MumblingRagDoll]

She's got one leg wrapped up a pole soverylucky with her crotch partly on display. What's she doing then?

[MillyR]

Have half of the people on this thread actually looked at the pictures?

There is NO poledancing in them. One woman has her leg up against a white post. There are some pictures of a group of women smiling and a few of them are holding cocktail glasses. What on earth is wrong with that?

I am related to teachers. They have drunk cocktails and shown a bit of leg in front of my primary age children. Why on earth would anybody care?

Erm....yes they can, as long as they don't break the law, like everyone else.

[MumblingRagDoll]

Unmarried has nothing to do with acting like a third rate reality show "star" Feenie

[MumblingRagDoll]

Feenie SO you think that being a teacher involves no moral responisbility?

[Cocoflower]

Teachers, doctors,nurses...

Yes they are expected to be upstanding memebers of society at all times, that is partly what they sign up for and to an extent I can see the point.

It would be a little if I saw my dc reception teacher gyrating on a pole on a night out, thinking "oh this is the person responsible for dc education" but I think it would be more the shock of seeing them so out of normal context as realistically people still have a right to have fun and blow of steam; they are still people after all.

[Feenie]

Being a teacher involves living by exactly the same rules as everyone else. I don't have to restrict my life outside school - I can do exactly what I please, thanks very much, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
