London - A male teacher who moonlighted as a stripper and starred in pornographic films has been found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct but left free to continue teaching.
Benedict Garrett was stripping in clubs and working as a naked butler while he was employed as head of personal, social and health education at Beal High School in Ilford, east London, a disciplinary committee heard.
The 31-year-old , who uses the pseudonym Johnny Anglais, received a reprimand after a two-day hearing in front of the General Teaching Council in Birmingham.
Derek Johns, chairman of the panel, told Garrett: “The committee is content that you have sufficient insight and would not repeat this behaviour should you resume teaching.”
He added: “You have stated that you will continue to advocate the morality and acceptability of your involvement in the adult industry and argue that it should not be inappropriate for a teacher to work as a stripper or in pornographic films.
“However, the committee is content that you recognise the widely held public view that such work is not acceptable conduct for a teacher.
“Therefore, in relation to risk of repetition, the committee considers it is unlikely that you will seek to return to the teaching profession whilst working as a stripper or in pornographic films.”
Garrett taught at the school from January 1, 2008 until July 16 last year.
An investigation began after pupils reported seeing him in a trailer for an adult film.
He admitted working in the adult industry but argued it was not unacceptable professional conduct as none of his behaviour was illegal.
On his website, Garrett, from Hackney, east London, offers services including lap dancing and serving food in the nude at private dinner parties.
The reprimand will remain on the GTC register for two years. - Daily Mail

I really don't see what's the problem if a teacher works on strip or other sex locations. I don't see how his teaching skills are affected by this, and pupils are too young to visit such places anywhay. So what's the problem?

@Hypocritical, I'm totally with you there. It seems like the kids have more rights that the teacher.

@Jess - Have of you seen what this dude looks like? If I looked like that, I would have done the same. Strip strip strip and more strip. Like lady strippers, if you have it, flaunt it. Sharing is caring. I mean seriously.

Jess, check your facts. The teacher sacked over the facebook pic is in the USA. Teachers there are micro-managed by local education authorities. In the UK they are managed by professional regional or national boards.

Was there no reprimand for the learners who was viewing the adult material? Oh yes! we cater to children in our modern society. Very modern.

So I guess its okay in the UK for male teachers to have a footprint of nudity but its not okay for a teacher who recently got herself fired because of uploading pictures of herself having a social drink with friends on FB to do so? Tut tut for your double standards Pommies!
