Anyone teach/work in education?

**liam88** · 08/02/2006, 9:25 PM

Just a question here....does anyone know if s female 6th form teacher sends text messages to a male students phone (17/18 year old) with kisses on the end-are they legally on dodgy ground or is that fine?

How old is the teacher? Is she good looking?

Seems like you well in there

**paul_oshea** · 08/02/2006, 9:55 PM

legally its fine ( in ireland anyhow ) as the legal age of consent is 17 ( yes not 16 ) but i think in terms of abusing a position of power, she would be in serious trouble.

as pete says, most important thing to be learned here is, if she is a hottie then keep your mouth shut and tell her ul put it in her mouth, otherwise just dont bother responding at all, at the end of the day she is only human

If she's hot, you lucky fecker!

. If not, then, consult your solictor right away

.

How did she get your number anyway?

Now why would everyone be persuming the lad in question is me??!

Purley asking if she could get in trouble legally/in her job for "X" on the end of each message or if it is to minor?

Sounds like she needs to be 'interviewed' by strangeirish and sirhamish.

She's a teacher and can't write??

Just to be serious for a second, is it an all male school? If not, why is she sending text messages just to the male students?

Because you asked the question. You must have realised we were all gonna presume it's you anyway?

Don't try that "friend of mine..." trick

Not illegal.

X means nothing as can be just term of affection without being sexual.
e.g. If he was off sick could send "Get well soon...X hottie teacher..."

Even if she was coming onto a student wouldn't be illegal just dodgy morally or in terms of code of practice for school.

Whats the deal with teachers texting students anyway?

heh heh - I'll set up that commision straight away strangeirish. "In camera" of course.

On a serious note, any teacher sending messages to a student where the dialogue is romantic is crazy these days. We live in such a litigation conscious world, that such behaviour can only end in disaster.
That teacher needs to get out more often and meet her own age group at clubs, sports, discos etc.
To my credit, despite all my faults and TBH, having the morals of any alley cat when I was young

, at nearly 20 years of teaching, I never entertained any notion of getting it on with young lady pupils because I wasn't interested and also 'cos there was plenty of p***y available in my own age group.

I reckon it's also any ego trip 'cos that teacher is enjoying the attention and letting it go to her silly little head.

in a thread loaded with innuendo sirhamish is the voice of reason!!!

Come off it Liam, this is like sirhamish asking if it's alright to date a cousin...

**pete** · 09/02/2006, 9:25 AM

What did the text message say?

**fosterdollar** · 09/02/2006, 9:43 AM

There's nowhere near enough information given to make a call on this. A lot of my female friends invariably end their texts, to both men and women, with x's. On the face of it, i wouldn't read anything into it. I'd be more concerned about the content of the written message.

On teachers having mobile nums of class pupils, i reckon if he/she has a fair few of the kids' numbers then alright. Would seem strange to only have one or two... but then again there could be a reason for that e'g. neighbours, family connections, etc.

Like i said, not enough known about it to make a worthy decision.

**Poor Student** · 09/02/2006, 9:50 AM

Yeah the old "XXX" could be force of habit. Some women go nuts on that in every message.

A teacher in my secondary had given her number to a fair few students but she was ridiculously friendly.

Closest thing that every actually happened along those lines that I've known about was that a fella from the previous year kopped off with a teacher at the debs.

Im training to be a teacher at the mo andf while it's not illegal whatever the context of the message shes just asking for trouble....The Dept of Education would not look lightly on this and would see it as inapproapriate for a teacher to be even texting a student

If a female teacher "seduces" a male student, he's a jammy sod and she's a randy goat.

If a male teacher "seduces" a female student, he's a paedophile and she's a victim.
