Thanks for that post, Jon

I've worked in a Probation Centre, and know that paedophilia ('Schedule One' is how it's defined) is actually a rare condition. Michael Jackson is obviously very mixed up mentally, but I doubt that he's a paedophile.

Paedophilia is, to many people, the most henious crime possible, and maybe it is. Today at work several people said that they'd "shoot Michael Jackson on sight" I don't see that as being very helpful.

I started a teaching course a couple of years ago, but due to personal problems never finished it. I hope to try again in September, but I'm only applying to teach adults.

A male trying to teach at primary level is so full of potential pitfalls, that it's not worth bothering with: You touched my boy!

No thanks, but a shame
