A TEACHER has been struck off after allegedly telling pupils about a dildo mishap that caused rectal bleeding during an English class.
The high schoolers were supposed to be covering the classic story of A Christmas Carol.

Kathryn Matthews, 43, instead allegedly talked about sex toys, orgasms, pornography and sex acts in her class.
However, the English teacher denied having made any comments of the nature and that students “had colluded against her”.
Ms Matthews was suspended from The Westleigh School in Lancashire following an investigation by the Teaching Regulation Agency in 2023.
The panel concluded that she had held “sexual and inappropriate” conversations with the class, including talking about “gay sex” and “masturbation”.
Another employee at the school, known as Witness A, heard from a student in Ms Matthews’ class who said she spoke about someone who “stuck a dildo with a suction cup on the end of it on to the back his bedroom door”.
She told the class how the “lad” backed up on the dildo, and was left “bleeding everywhere” as his grandmother caused the door to fly open when entering the room.
Ms Matthews reportedly described the incident as “being a big mess”.
And these kinds of conversations were said to be regular in the class, as students regarded her “more like a friend than a teacher”.
Witness B, who carried out the investigation into Ms Matthews’ alleged misconduct, recalled one student who said: “She [Ms Matthews] doesn’t personally know this person but they had a suction cup dildo he stuck it on his bathroom door put his music on blasting and was easing the dildo into his bum.”
“He didn’t hear grandma come home and she opened the door and he panicked and the dildo went up his bum making him bleed and pass out.
“She was stood at the front of the class telling the whole class.”
Ms Matthews denied telling this story to her students, and suggests they may have heard it on TikTok during a lesson which she claims was on A Christmas Carol and nothing else.
Another student is said to have questioned Ms Matthews about how many orgasms boys and girls can have.
The teacher responded in front of the class: “Girls can have eight orgasms but boys only have one which is up their bum.”
A 25-minute conversation about gay men having orgasms “up their bum” also allegedly happened with Ms Matthews.
She has, however, insisted the pupils have colluded to get her in trouble.
The panel has dismissed this noting that she was well liked by the class.
Other staff also thought it was “unlikely that any pupils would have colluded to seek to concoct the matters which form the heart of the allegation.”
Findings by the panel have lead to Ms Matthews being prohibited from teaching indefinitely.
She is also banned from teaching in any school sixth form college, youth accommodation or children’s home in England.
But she may ask for a review of the prohibition order after a minimum of two years.
