I'm a teacher and however stunned, I think I'd have noticed before she got down to her bra and panties that it wasn't a gorilla routine......

DT Teacher, brighton,

haha. Tomorrow in the news: The poor chap's words and actions upon meeting his mother after school!

HAHA my schools famous LOL!

Joeh, Nottingham,

This young man will be a legend among his peers for the rest of his life. For his 16th he had a stripper and a story that was read around the world. Needless to say, mum will be hard pressed to top it next year but I can't wait to see what she does...

and I'm glad it didn't happen here as the morality police would raze the school and terminate the teacher, the principal and the groundskeeper. His classmates would be subjected to years of mandatory "therapy" and his mother would be sued by all the students, the school and the agency for emotional distress.

The question is - would it have been a good lesson on the Ofsted scale?

Maths Teacher, West Sussex,

All i got on my 16th birthday was a wedgie and a bog flushing...

Why did my mum never think of this!!!

Chris, London,

From what I remember no-one ever bothered going to great lenghts for a 16th birthday.

I can't understand why the teacher was willing to be complicit in even the basic "Gorilla" scenario, should have just said "No".

Bob, Reading,

it's not uncommon. I once booked a wholesome belly dancer for a themed evening and ended up with a stripping ballet dancer.

still, it's not all bad, is it?

and it was "after the stripper performed a significant chunk of her routine before the shocked teacher intervened". shyeah, ok.

I imagine the stripper managed "to evade the school’s security measures" precisely by being dressed as a policewoman. I doubt a "gorilla" would have made it through.... you never know though.

The mother must love her son very much to have him humiliated in front of a teacher and his classmates.

The school has launched an inquiry which will consume many wasted hours, lightbulbs and forests of paper, someone will be suspended for half-a-day, but notwithstanding cameras, security, procedures, etc., it will always be a piece of cake for a stranger dressed up as a police officer to walk into a school and ... well, in the light of recent school/college massacres elsewhere, with potential to do a great deal of harm. Some of us have a gullible outdated respect for anyone in a uniform.

This is by far the best thing ever to happen at my old school. Love it!
