To think that teachers convicted of downloading child pornography should not be allowed to teach?

From what I heard on the news this morning, the ones he had opened were at 1 on a scale of severity from 1 to 10. Others were 3 but he hadn't opened them. However, I wonder why he downloaded them if the intention to get a kick out of them wasn't there.
It will be up to an individual school to decide whether or not to employ him. If such a person had applied for a job when I was a school governor he wouldn't have reached the interview stage. Although he is no longer on the sex offenders' register, he will still have a police record.

On the face of it I'd say you aren't being unreasonable but I don't know this case ... were the photos mild and a few and does he/she teach enormous, hairy teenagers who can look after themselves? What were the circumstances? Apologies to those who already know...
