I’m wondering if went to the same school as mine was a music teacher too…0Unless a few of us on this thread went to the same school, the similar experiences are absolutely shocking.
We had a teacher try it on with a sixth former which he was sacked for - bit of debate about how ‘wrong’ it was because she was older but, position of trust etc, and it was enough to lose his job
Then we had a music teacher who had a ‘relationship’ with a pupil which ended in her attempting suicide. It was kept quiet and hushed up because the teachers uncle was the head teacher. He has now gone on to MARRY an ex pupil he used to teach!!!!
Then the ‘worst’ one was our PE teacher who groomed and abused a girl in my year at school resulting in him going to prison. He was engaged at the time and in a ‘normal’ relationship but still felt the need to groom a child , at his home and in his car. It came out because the girl had mental health problems and told a therapist!!!!
That was just what I heard of in an Ofsted OUTSTANDING school whilst I was there!!!!! This is in the last 15 years btw, not the distant past

All these teachers taking advantage of students is and always will be totally unacceptable. But it's "funny" how society has double standards. Sam Taylor-Johnson is now married and has 2 children with Aaron Taylor-Johnson who she first knew when he was a child and who she started a relationship with when he was a 17 year old actor working on one of her films and she was a 42 year old producer. She's a very successful producer/artist and her contemporaries just seem to ignore the fact that she groomed an underage boy. Sorry bit of a tangent there but it always astounds me that more was not made of it at the time.
It's always the music teachers...... Ours was a female music teacher rumoured to have slept with a 15 year old boy on school journey.
I think it is people going into these professions with this aim. Same with priests
My music teacher was caught dealing! Although we did have a maths teacher that was found with a student hiding under his bed
I think about this often and wonder why no one talks about it.
I used to hate one of the teachers for woodwork/metalwork/technical drawing. He was horrible to the girls but always praising the boys. A few years after we left, he was convicted of sexual abuse on boys. No wonder he was always horrible to the girls.
Bit like Sue and Noel Radford.
There's been quite a bit of talk about it on social media and there were people getting hashtags trending encouraging him to divorce her. I can't remember his name now but there is another Hollywood actor who had a baby with his 30-something ex when he was only in his late teens to early 20s, and there was Harry Styles and Caroline Flack, I've seen plenty of talk about those on social media yet it doesn't seem to harm the women's careers. Having wives/girlfriends half their age doesn't harm the careers of many male celebrities either, but it should, regardless of gender. Also when the older party is female, any discussion of it usually turns into sneering at her looks or how she supposedly will/has hit the menopause and they're not having sex, as opposed to the actual issue of grooming
Absolutely. I remember there was some comment about it at the time but just under the guise of "oh there is a bit age difference" rather than the fact he was a child when they first met and still underage when they started a relationship. To be fair to them, they seem very happy and completely besotted with each other but yeah, the origins of it still give me the ick.
Why the hell did he have a child under his bed?!My music teacher was caught dealing! Although we did have a maths teacher that was found with a student hiding under his bed
If I remember correctly he claimed he was giving extra tuition, but it later came out they'd been having a sort of relationship. I think his house was raided while she was there and that where she hid.
Not directly but, my mum's best friend was also best friends with a woman who was murdered by her daughter. The daughter was schizophrenic and was living in sheltered housing and was supposed to be under supervision at all times but she somehow got hold of a knife that she managed to hide in her room. Then when her mother went to visit her one day, they went outside in the town for a walk and she had concealed the knife about her person and stabbed her mum 22 times. She was done for manslaughter with diminished responsibility. It did seem rather premeditated to me but there ya go. She took it to the Supreme Court after her conviction trying to sue/blame her caregivers for what she'd done. I've got a bad feeling she might have also killed her Grandma but I might be misremembering that.
It happened in a house where I once lived.
One store below my flat, a man at the end of his 30s had moved in. I didn't like him. He was the kind of person who must always talk without saying anything substantial. Always making compliments when he saw me, trying to flirt in the staircase or in the back yard on Sunday mornings, when I dropped my trash in the bin (me: hair messy, loose t-shirt, no bra
). He never touched me or put pressure on me, though. Offered to help me with big parcels, baggage, whatever ... but I didn't like him and always rejected his offers. He was obviously lonely in the big town and soon lost his job. Being unemployed, he became even more bored and ever-present in the house and you know - like a watchdog - was very interested what the neighbours were doing (I worked as a freelancer at home, often in the night because of my clients' different time zones and he saw my bulb lit).
He started to drink and you could see how his health detoriorated quickly. His dark hair faded rapidly to grey and within 2 or 3 years he was a shadow of his former self! Once he was so drunk that he tried to open the door of my appartment because he thought it was his own. I was appalled. I felt so much contempt for him while I should have felt pity. But I couldn't help it - couldn't stand him.
After a while he was seen hanging out in parks with other alcoholics, drug addicts, homeless, and criminals. One day, one of them killed him. For no obvious reason. It was seemingly an outburst of pure hatred. No knife, just mere fists and the perpetrator seemed to have trampled on him or pulled him forcefully some meters because the police said that parts of his body were everywhere in his appartment. Nobody in the house had heard anything. Nobody.
And the worst was that I thought: Thank god, it's over. I don't have to see him ever again.
He seemed to have been a person who evoked anger in others while he didn't really do any harm. In the opposite. He was kind, always offered help (which I didn't want). I am still shocked that I couldn't feel pity right after his death. At least today I can. I am grateful for this.

Music teacher here too, although mine was male and into young boys so I don't think its the same one. He was only jailed for 15 months 
He was found guilty of 20 charges of making indecent photographs of a child after pornography was found on his home computer.

A girls grammar school near me has in the last 10 or so years had at least 2 teachers up in court for being "inappropriate".
One was a male teacher, I think he was discovered taking pictures or something, the other was a female teacher who had a relationship with a pupil.
My friends ex boyfriend murdered his wife one day after work. They'd only been married a year or 2, She'd left him a few weeks earlier and I think there was rumours a new bloke was on the scene. He'd also planned on committing suicide but failed and he's in prison now. He also posted loads of her nudes on his Facebook just before he did it.
I think I remember this. Very sad.
My mum has never mentioned this but my dad told me recently that in the late 70's my mum was taught by a teacher called Philip Lawrence who then went on to work at other schools eventually becoming a head master at a school where he was murdered (1995).
He was stabbed at the school gates when he tried to stop a pupil being attacked by a gang member.
He was posthumously awarded the Queen's Gallantry medal a few years later for literally stepping in front of the pupil the to take the full blow of the knife.

I only recently found out a friend I went to school with was killed, she was stabbed by an older lady. She was only late teens at the time.
