Swinging teachers

Interested to read some opinions on this. Someone we know has found out that a teacher at their child's school is a swinger. This person is aghast about this and wants to report the teacher (not sure what for) and is refusing to let them teach their child.
My attitude is that as long as it doesn't affect their work (whichbit clearly isnt) then what the teacher chooses to do in their private time is their business and their business only. ATBU?

I’m a teacher and really surprised to hear of all this swinging happening! In my past 20 years of teaching I’ve heard about work affairs etc but not swinging.

Having said that, a few months ago I did come across a news article where a teacher was indeed a swinger and had posted photos online too. Apparently a parent saw her on a swinging website and sent information to the school she worked at and she was struck off I’ve not read the whole thread so it could have previously been linked - if not, here is the article -

I am not absurd, I just like to see standards and morals, I expect a School Teacher to have them, otherwise I don't want them educating my youngsters

So I’m assuming your children were immaculately conceived?

I just don't like it, loose morals, in or out of the workplace, I'm just going round in circles here, I've had enough !

So stop commenting on the thread and go and do something else instead, like the homeschooling that you are planning on doing.

I suspect it was the working as an escort and posting pictures that was the issue, rather than the swinging itself.

I would do, but people keep quoting me, so I'm obliged to respond.

No you’re not.

Send messages to all the people who quote me and tell them to stop quoting me then !

GrammarTeacher · 16/03/2025 12:10

Just because people quote you doesn’t mean you have to reply! You can just ignore it!

ItGhoul · 16/03/2025 15:52

Markovenchip · 15/03/2025 16:49

It is my business if being naughty and wayward affects their work

It doesn’t affect their work.

Markovenchip · 16/03/2025 11:04

Yes.

Either you don’t know what immaculate conception is, or you are severely mentally ill.

Pumpkincozynights · 16/03/2025 15:57

I absolutely could not give a damn.
I would care more about the teaching being a great teacher.
All those who would object, I hope you were married to the father/mother of your child long before they were born. I also assume you were a virgin on your wedding night, otherwise check your own morals before commenting on the morals of others.

Nobody gives a shit about what you approve of. 😂 you can go off all you want, and still, there’s nothing you can do and nobody gives a shit. 💅😘

JHound · 16/03/2025 19:40

The other person sounds batshit crazy. There is nothing wrong with being a teacher who also happens to swing.

Hmmmm, that's debatable, their mind might be on the 'excitement' of finding yet another swinger to go to bed with.

I don't give a shit what you do either.

I can't do anything about it, but I do not condone promiscuity (or drug taking) amongst professional people who educate and examine others, and while my taxes are paying Doctors, Teachers, Dentists, etc; etc; I will have my say, end of !

You are exactly the sort of person who says ‘end of’!

Why would it be? There are other things people do that they look forward to. Would you have an issue with their mind being on a nice weekend away for their wedding anniversary? Or can teachers not do anything they enjoy out of school in case their mind isn't on the teaching?

At this point, I think you are just being silly for giggles.

How very thoughtless of us.

Many messages ago, you said you’d had enough and were stopping posts. You’re still here! Please go and annoy people somewhere else!

I'm proud to say I am, I expect professionalism from people who earn mega-buck salaries, sleeping around means they have no self-respect, end of !

Teachers do not earn mega bucks. Many people who do, do far worse things than swing!
