Coventry teacher who ‘joked about having sex with mum of pupil’ banned

Thought there has to be more to the story than the headline.

Read the article and… yep.

reads like the teacher was having a regular rough and tumble on the grass outside the classroom, the swearing did not help….

I say bring him back. He’s just type of teacher these little wankers need.

I bet little Jayden was an angel who didn’t do anything wrong to deserve the verbal smack down

Bring back corporal punishment, it never did me any harm. Mainly because it had ended way before I started school but that’s beside the point.

And to think, 20 years ago I learned how to read time distance graphs because our maths teacher told us a story of walking to the brothel and back. And he would never calculate the radius of a circle without making reference to a Cardiff leisure centre and velcro gloves…

I’ll never forget those lessons. They were hilarious

Frankly, this guy sounds like he was a great teacher, who had a way of connecting with his male pupils.

The kids involved with the play fighting seemed to enjoy it. Based on the quotes in the article, they spoke to the boy in question and he insisted that it was all just a bit of fun. If the kid was genuinely a little shit, and the teacher was genuinely losing his temper and acting inappropriately, then there is no chance the kid would have stuck up for the teacher. Many kids would *love* to get their teacher in trouble, if only for the little thrill of wielding power over an adult.

There are certain boys who really excel with this kind of teaching. A bit of rough and tumble with an authority figure builds respect. I never had that kind of relationship with any of my high school teachers, but I used to go to a music school on Saturdays and definitely had that kind of a teacher/student relationship with one of the conductors. We had a thing where we would sneak up on him and jump on his back and try to wrestle him to the ground. He was a northerner, and he’d make fun of all us southern children for not speaking properly, regularly mocking our accents. He shaved his head after going bald, and we brought in a load of eggs to put on his table, and then on break time we all ran away while he chased us throwing eggs at us. When he needed to lay down the law his demeanor changed and everyone knew he was serious. But he rarely had to lay down the law, because he had the respect of all the naughty kids.

So my initial thought seeing headline was “wtf?” Then I read the details and actually reinstate him. I had teachers at school, who would engage in banter to skme extent and take the piss etc, they were almost always male and as a boy they were easily my favourite teachers infact they were pretty well known to be everyone’s favourite teachers. The unruly children that usually misbehaved generally respected them partly because they had strict boundaries that weren’t to be crossed but equally they would happily make crude jokes and get involved in verbal sparring and rinse them.

Young boys have a crisis atm as the media likes to remind us particularly in education and in part it’s due to a lack of male role models. This teacher is a perfect example of the kind of teacher engaging with young boys who are the most susceptible to the Andrew tate extremism and he would actually have the kids respect enough to be able to challenge that.

I would suggest he probably shouldn’t have sworn, just because it is abit unprofessional. The physical stuff sounds abit dubious- I could see how it could go too far by accident but on balance that’s exactly the kind of interaction some of these boys need. It’s the kind of interaction and play they’d usually have with their fathers but I’m going to hazard a guess they don’t have one at home or don’t have one that’s interested in them at all.

“We need more male teachers to give kids a male role model that’s not Andrew Tate or other incels”

Male teacher: *jokes around with students and shows he understands them*

“Gtfo, filth”
