I was just in communication with a British person (who shall remain nameless), and I was shocked to learn that there are apparently certain "gaps" in the curriculum of the British educational system. This warrants further investigation.

Have you ever heard of "adjectives" and "adverbs"?

The film, Notes on a Scandal, depicts two types of female perversions: a stalker and a teacher who gets sexually involved with her underage student. Based on the 2003 novel by Zoë Heller and set at a London-based school, it is told by a sixtyish history teacher, Barbara Covett, who records the details of the two-year situation. The teacher in question is Bathsheba Hart — 'Sheba' —and she arrives at the school to teach art classes.
Covett's obsession with Hart, a woman in her forties, is clear from her meticulous notes about this pretty new teacher, and it turns out that she's an obsessive, controlling type of person without enduring relationships. She has stalked or dominated others in the past, and like many stalkers, she also becomes a punisher, even as she feigns friendship.
Sheba is married, with two kids, which doesn't prevent her from falling for one of her students, fifteen-year-old Steven Connolly. She knows better, but she gets involved with him, anyway, and they begin having sex practically everywhere. She learns that Covett has had a glimpse of that and says that they have only kissed, but Covett discovers much more, uses it to get Sheba under her control, and eventually lets the secret out. (In the film, Covett sees them together and demands that Sheba quit, which she agrees to do, but then continues.)
The affair eventually reaches the ears of the school's headmaster and Sheba is not only suspended but charged with a crime. This damages her marriage and prevents her from seeing her children. Thanks to the affair, Sheba's life falls apart, while Covett moves on to another vulnerable young woman. However, she, too, loses her job for being complicit.
In the course of the movie, several themes arise that are true of many of the teachers erotically entangled with their students: the allure of a secret, the feeling of entitlement, the false belief that the student is "mature for his age," and the naïve notion that no one is being damaged by it.
In real life in many jurisdictions, Sheba would be considered a sex offender; her offense is no different in the eyes of the law than that of a man who has sex with an underage child. Despite the claim by most of these teachers that they have followed the course of "true love," many prove to be repeat predators on vulnerable children.
To Die For, starring Nicole Kidman, a novel and film about a weathergirl who manipulates a teenager with sex to kill her husband, was inspired by another famous case, also arising from an encounter at school.
I'm in search for one of your representatives, or National Security. I have been able to read ********** mind. I showed up at *********, in Eugene, Oregon and let him know about the money that he stole from government agencies, including the FBI, which ironically protects him. He thought I was undercover or believed I was a human computer; which he still may believe. He witnesses that his computers talk to me, as if I were one of them. I can tell what program his computers are on and what they are interlocking with most of the time. He gave me a 400 million dollar check that day, as I sat there reading his mind explaining to him what I knew. At that point he had 8-10 billion dollars of government money/funding hidden away. But after the planes went down he stole over a 100 billion. He used Mike's pin# and password to get into National Security. He helped himself into instruments and institutions, and began using them incorrectly and illegally. I am offering National Security or any Representative a lot of my money to help me put this man away. It seems he is being protected by the forces I need. He is station #3 of the HAARP Project and I'm in search for anyone ready to earn a lot of money; for actually representing the United States of America the Right Way. He's been looking into the minds of his people and brainwashing them, so he will not be seen. I can read his mind faster than any instrument, and ironically he seems he has to answer my questions like I was a machine. When I listen, I can hear him telling people he's playing God and to digest this information; or to Change their mind. Another one he uses, line one--, line two--, line three--, Lock and Load, which also seems to convince people that he is innocent. He changes the information nightly so he won't be seen, for he is a computer programmer as you will soon see. I've even tried try to get the HAARP to tune into me, so they could see me which would see him. This is just the beginning of what I know. Eugene, Oregon's FBI seem to be full of idiots or his "Change Your mind Method" is working pretty damn good. Right now I get denied as they listen to him and not me. But COME ON PEOPLE, He wrote me a $400 Million dollar check. (SO, WAKE UP! FBI, because you are obviously, virtually blind),. This Nation seems to be lacking people like me. That can discover people like ********** and his black market industry.
