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.

    This stood out to me as well. So if she weren’t so shit at teaching, she could’ve raped more children without legal consequences? 10 kids started the year not being able to do basic division and now they can factor polynomials like pros, so her rape budget is 3 students this year.

      Shed still have the criminal consequences, but maybe there is stratification for teaching bans. I.e., university level allowed and primary banned. Unlikely there’s a rape stipend extended except for tenored professors.
