Teacher sacked for appearing in Cleo

Ok, how many primary school children read Cleo? Very few, I'd say. So the problem is with the children's parents finding out that *shock* their kid's teacher has a sex life! OMG!

If it were *high* school, it'd be another matter- most of her female students would be reading the magazine, and students seeing their teacher naked would be... not a good plan. But *primary school kids shouldn't be reading Cleo anyway*! Since when is it inappropriate for a teacher of children to be known to have sex?

*Mutters and grumbles*

Ok, that's my rant for today.

BTW, as I said before, I do think there's a time and place for children to learn about sex, and I don't think it's through seeing their teacher naked in a magazine

of course not! But where in this does anyone think the children would see their teacher in Cleo?

hmm.

i don't think you can ever control the 'time and place' in which children learn about sex.

i've never tried bringing up kids but i imagine for most people awkward moments like if your kid found this picture are the main times in which conversation about sexuality opens up? i mean it seems to me something that surely parents deal with a fair bit and no-one is hurt? why can't the parent just explain to the kid that, yes, even your teachers have husbands/wives and love each other very much etc. it wouldn't be massively different from kid asking awkward questions about a billboard of a random naked woman/couple?
