This I find quite upsetting, I was always getting into scrapes when I was a youngster and it was always comforting to have a teacher around to say "there, there". It's a sad society that would automatically find something sinister in this. I haven't turned into a maladjusted individual as a result of my experiences, and I thank God for the sympathy of my school teachers. Except for the games teacher that touched my bum!

Toon Chris Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 We had a male art teacher that shagged a 6th form girl. Sacked of course. It's just a gag though, mate, exaggerated for effect. I don't think it's really as bad as all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
