Rebecca Joynes is currently serving a six and a half year prison sentence

A teacher who was convicted for having sex with two boys, becoming pregnant by one, has been banned from the profession.

Maths teacher Rebecca Joynes, 31, was jailed for six and a half years in July last year after being found guilty of six counts of sexual activity with a child, after sleeping with one pupil before falling pregnant by a second while on police bail.

The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) convened earlier this month via a virtual hearing, which Joynes did not attend, to consider her professional conduct. A panel recommended she be banned from teaching.

    Fun homonym.

    Mesophilia, loving the middle, in this context, as wikipedia says:

    Mesophilia (derived from the Greek mesos, “intermediate”) is a romantic and/or sexual preference for middle-aged adults (around late 40s and 60s). The term was coined by Michael Seto in 2014

    Sorry, I thought that term was better known, and that context would have averted any confusion.
