1. I wish I had teachers like that.

2. How did she punish bad students?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.05.12)
3. Everybody has 2 Lives ( Inner and Outer )
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem   (12.05.12)
She is certainly entitled to have her own private life . As long as she is not violating academic rules and values she is definitely fit to be a school teacher . And it goes both ways : why should she be frowned upon when the couple themselves went to that very BDSM club ? To me the same rule applies to homosexuals and lesbians who should not be denied jobs because of their sexual preference . As long as they practice their sex outside their field of work and as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others they should be treated normally .
4. A scandal
Zivron   (12.05.12)
This indicates sigmund Freud and his merry band of followers of the sex driver and its depressions as being vital for civilisation has merit.the Torah is strict about sex prophesising sexually transmitted diseases syphilis aids herpes and chlamydia so safe sex needs fences.you can get lashes for having sex at the time of menses I hope the teacher does not allow more than 40 lashes.she ought keep her job if she only does the forty lash job.she can always work as a sex therapist and teach at night.
5. Did her private life interfere with teaching? Leave her be!
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.05.12)
If you looked into the private life of everyone you would be filling the jails.
6. The trouble with teachers like that
Bill ,   New York, USA   (12.05.12)
For the male student who has the "benefit" of such a teacher, there is one lasting problem: after an early achievement like that, there is no motivation to do anything else in life. The early deprivation is what is needed to motivate males to earn degrees and develop careers. Cheers.
7. TEACHER
Ron ,   NY,NY   (12.05.12)
Sounds like she is urgently needed in the Knesset
8. Her private life is unrelated to her competence.
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
Perhaps the teacher should have worn a better disguise. However, her private life has nothing to do with her competence as a teacher.
9. Her time away from school is her own
Daniel ,   TA   (12.05.12)
This is a case of the thought police. If the teacher's conduct in school was acceptable to the administration and the students learned the curriculum then anything the teacher does in private is no one else's business.
10. maybe she needed a second job
iselin ,   oslo, norway   (12.05.12)
Maybe if her salary were high enough to cover more than just the basics she wouldn't need a second job. As long as she is a good teacher, she should not be punished for having a second job of any kind. At least she is working and not on welfare, as are many able-bodied people in Israel.
11. If she is a good teacher...pay her more and
Netanya ,   Netanya   (12.05.12)
she wouldn't have to do this. The good teachers are paid the same as the bad teachers; the school doesn't discriminate in this area, when it should. I have seen some teachers who did nothing, including teaching, but they had been at the school for years, so they were getting paid well and doing zero, while other great teachers who were really working hard were paid hardly anything. It may be time to revamp the payment of teachers, so the good ones will not have to resort to this type of work to make ends meet. I believe that most teachers in Israel work on the side, as a tutor (some with students from the same school they teach at, which is illegal.) I actually find that a worse crime than this one. But most teachers do follow the law and teach privately students from a different school than they teach at. Sadly, it is the only way many of them will be able to pay bills and eat.

13. Hardcore BDSM is satanic ritual
Jake ,   USA   (12.05.12)
The western media glorifying this type of sexual behavior is quite disturbing.
14. If fired she'll have a career in Bangkok, teaching Hebrew.
Michael ,   California, USA   (12.05.12)
15. Education system at fault
keren ,   tzafon, Israel   (12.05.12)
In Israel educators are so lightly valued and underpaid that they must take 1 or 2 other jobs just to make ends meet. Its a shame what this teacher did in her free time, but its a bigger shame that she needed a second job at all.
16. So what , no big deal
Haim ,   TA   (12.05.12)
17. Pupils looking at porn sites ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.05.12)
18. She is a cross dresser named Richard Silverstein
Dave ,   Aussie   (12.05.12)
really
19. Teaching and S & M moonlighter
Eli ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
What the lady does on her own time is her own business. It is neither illegal nor particularly immoral if it concerns consenting adults. The real issue is why she has to do it. If the pay for teaching were even reasonable it might not have been necessary. However, our lovely govt. will save on paying teachers, giving money to holocaust survivors, handicap benefits and at the same time piss it away on all sorts of stupid settlements in the territories. No wonder 1/3 of the people are below the poverty line; someone has to pay for the settlements.
20. it is all education
sam ,   colorado-USA   (12.05.12)
topic is very easy as there is a school to teach the young also there is a school for adult education it is all education
21. The pupils are the real scandal
Noa   (12.05.12)
The teacher is a grown up woman, her 2nd job did not interfere with her teaching. But what kind of films are the children watching?
22. Eli, # 19
A retired teacher ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.05.12)
"The real issue is why she has to do it." You have stated the situation exactly. Many thanks to you.
23. If she's a 'chaticha'
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.05.12)
....and manages this exposure properly.... .....she can start her own club
24. Immorality stinks from the top in secular Israel's education
Dov   (12.05.12)
25. THE TEACHER DID NOTHING ILLEGAL THE STUDENTS DID
zionist forever   (12.05.12)
She is wearing a mask so apart from the fact two guys recognised her voice nobody knows who she is so nobody even knows who she is. She is doing it at an officially licensed S&M club which I imagine is not illegal. I also imagine her school contract says nothing about her not being allowed a second job or her sexual habits outside of school are. All that does matter is she is a competent teacher who does the job she is paid for. The ones who were breaking the law were the students and the club because if they are still in high school it probably means they are underage and not allowed to enter these places so they shouldn't have been going there and the club should not have let them in. The only one who wasn't doing anything illegal was the teacher.
26. Sublime Teacher
Gan-Chan ,   Berlin, Germany   (12.05.12)
As a boy I always wished to have a teacher like this Woman! She should be principal of this school.
27. Maybe if teachers were being paid accordingly
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (12.05.12)
she wouldn't need a second job. Lots of us do since pays in Israel are ridiculously low ! People in Israel should wake up and start to get a grip on their faith and stop being suckers !
28. teacher by day,...
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
Maybe, some of the student's parents were afraid to meet that teacher there, privately… ...or, that woman - teachers have not a very high salary - studies in one of the universities around Ashkelon to get her degree as sexologist, a job, that pays very good. Of course in universities, like everywhere, you have theoretical and practical exams, so what… simple fieldwork and -research… ...or, she heard from her religious parents or from the rabbi that from time to time an educational tick with the ruler, hand or whip is not so bad at all for kids. Because she is an innocent girl, she has to learn it somewhere… again: simple field- and field research… Of course also I find it a strange combination: her job and her free time activity. Some parents are really shocked, others are certainly pure hypocrites… like everywhere in our society.
29. wow the holiness in the Holy Land is overwhelming
sonia ,   amsterdam holland   (12.05.12)
30. To some students, seeing teacher at supermarket is weird
William ,   Israel   (12.05.12)
So I have two questions... 1) What were kids of student-age doing watching this TV show in the first place? 2) Did this give the Education ministry a wake-up call regarding teacher salaries?
