A teacher has been charged with serious misconduct after suggesting two gay male students have a threesome with her. After she split up with her husband she invited a friend’s son to board with her. While the Year 13 student and his boyfriend were watching television in her bed, as it was the only TV in her house, she made a comment about the three of them engaging having a threesome. She claimed it was because she was treating him like her own child, and there was nothing romantic or sexual involved. The New Zealand Teachers Council disciplinary tribunal has suspended her practising certificate. If she gets it back, she will have to tell future employers about the decision, and arrange for another teacher to give her a professional guidance programme so boundaries are established.
