Rebecca Joynes is currently serving a six and a half year prison sentence

A teacher who was convicted for having sex with two boys, becoming pregnant by one, has been banned from the profession.

Maths teacher Rebecca Joynes, 31, was jailed for six and a half years in July last year after being found guilty of six counts of sexual activity with a child, after sleeping with one pupil before falling pregnant by a second while on police bail.

The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) convened earlier this month via a virtual hearing, which Joynes did not attend, to consider her professional conduct. A panel recommended she be banned from teaching.

    Map is a term meant to abstract and soften the language around what they are. They’re pedophiles. Why are you so adamant on defending pedophiles? That’s pedo behavior. Learn the lesson.

      And why is softening the language around the term such a bad thing, when it’s surrounded by so much misinformation, making discussion around the topic basically impossible, as this thread has proven yet again. Maybe also read this paper if you’re actually asking in good faith.
