A former school teacher is doing the rounds on the news and on social media, after it was revealed that she had sex with a former pupil. Scots pupil has claimed he had sex with his PE teacher after he had drank pints, wine, rum and shots at prom.
The pupil, known only as Pupil A, gave evidence relating to a list of allegations made against teacher Melissa Tweedie on Monday, February 7.
The pupil revealed how he had consumed around three or four pints, a bottle of wine, some spirits, rum and shots before having sex with Miss Tweedie in his hotel room.
He claims Miss Tweedie, who now lives in Dubai and works as a yoga teacher, stayed the night in the room before leaving around 8am the following day.
Miss Tweedie, who was 23 at the time, is alleged to have partied with pupils at SWG3 nightclub in Glasgow before going back with them to a Premier Hotel in June 2017.
The former PE teacher at Gleniffer High School in Paisley, Renfrewshire, allegedly danced inappropriately with pupils before sleeping with the pupil, who was 18.
The pupil today told the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) that he “felt sorry” that Miss Tweedie, 27, is being investigated over the event.
However, in a statement he admitted kissing Miss Tweedie in a hotel room before going downstairs to his hotel room and having sex with her.
Teachers are prohibited from sleeping with their students under general guidelines and practices of schools. It is seen as an abuse of power, and would generally cost a teacher his or her job. It is considered an abuse of power and of trust, and contrary to the ethos of responsible society.
However sometimes physical attraction combined with lust leads leads teachers to breach their contract with their educational institution. Teenage pupils will in many cases court a sexual offer, especially under the influence of alcohol, before gloating about their experience instead of protecting the interest of the offending teacher by keeping the affair secret.
The selfish mind of teens that basks in brovadacious conduct that elevates their status among their peers is highly rewarded in school circles
