Teacher caught in the act

THE EDITOR: I really would like to know the importance of moral values to some of our school teachers. Rec-ently, I was shocked to bear witness to a most appalling and disgusting event. A ‘decent’ female teacher from the school my children attend was caught in some compromising positions with a man half her age, under a step (mind you!) Behind a mall in the Point Lisas area! The commotion stirred up a frenzy among a few who were passing, when these two were caught and reprimanded by security personnel of the mall. I felt really embarrassed as my children are her students!

I am deeply concerned as to if some teachers are even worthy of shaping our tender youthful minds. Clearly this so called ‘educator’ has absolutely no regard and respect for decency and acceptable social behaviour. I ask myself here, where is the discipline, responsibility and morals which we look for in our teachers? I surely do not want my children to be taught that having sex behind a mall is an acceptable norm in society. In closing, I am calling on the Ministry of Education, as well as TTUTA, to ensure our children are given teachers we can look up to, and not those who would embarrass us!
