highlyeccentricTeacher 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.

Date: 2008-05-10 04:57 am (UTC)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?
