London:
A woman schoolteacher shocked parents and pupils at a village
primary school by boasting on the social networking site Facebook
about drinking, swearing and having sex while partying.
Elizabeth Scarlett, 50, was also accused before a disciplinary
hearing of making improper comments about sex toys on the social
networking site, on which she had befriended former pupils as
young as 11, the Daily Express reported.
On Tuesday, the divorced woman was given an official reprimand
over her Facebook posts which she made while working at a primary
school in South Wales.
The General Teaching Council for Wales heard that Scarlett, who
taught at the school for 17 years, wrote about "partying hard".
One of her messages mentioned her thoughts of buying a sex toy.
And she told an ex-pupil: "You should pop up to see me or even
better we can go for a drink or clubbing. Outside school I like to
party hard.
"I'm not a teacher on here. I'm just like anyone else." She said
that she drank, swore and had sex, adding "but don't tell anyone".
The hearing was told Scarlett had 81 friends on Facebook including
32 former pupils, 12 of whom were aged between 11 and 17.
In a statement later, she said that she "did not realise" her
profile could be seen publicly.
