An English teacher has been struck off after boasting to pupils about her "friend with benefits" and shouting in their faces.
Julia Wheeler, 40, faced several allegations of inappropriate or derogatory behaviour towards students at Pencoed Comprehensive School in Bridgend, South Wales.
Pupils said she called them d******ds", "b*****ds" and "f*****g b******s", and made inappropriate comments to them about her own relationships.
A fitness to practise hearing was also told that she wrote the word "b***h" next to a pupil's name on a mark sheet - then circled it.
One student reported being reduced to tears, saying: "She once shouted at me so much I cried."
An Education Workforce Council (EWC) panel ruled that Wheeler was inappropriate and derogatory towards pupils between January and May 2021, reports Wales Online.
She was banned from teaching for two years, after which she will be allowed to apply to re-join the register subject to a final decision from the EWC.
Steve Powell, lay member of the fitness to practise committee, said evidence supplied by pupils through statements and interviews with school staff was "consistent and corroborative".
"Ms Wheeler was a professional and ought to have been aware of the importance of communication with the pupils appropriately and of her responsibility as a role model," Mr Powell said of her behaviour.
He added that Wheeler had defended herself in this regard by saying she did shout, but that she "used to teach drama" and was a "very loud personality".
He said Wheeler had left her desk and shouted in pupils' faces despite Covid safety measures on social distancing being in place at the time of the allegations.
Wheeler was also found to have made inappropriate comments to pupils about her personal relationships.
This included repeatedly referring to a "friend with benefits" in front of pupils, one of whom complained that she "explained to the whole class how he has abs and how they get it on together".
Mr Powell said it was "not appropriate to discuss personal relationships with pupils" and that this would have "negatively impacted or caused embarrassment" to young learners.
Wheeler was also found to have referred to a pupil as "b***h" on a mark sheet and referred to another staff member as a "d******d", which the committee said was "not appropriate" language to use towards pupils and staff.
Two of the allegations towards Wheeler – that she threw chairs off tables in a classroom and took pictures of her class to send to her daughter – were found not proven.
Presenting officer Sara Lewis said Wheeler's conduct had negatively affected pupils and there had been "no expression of genuine regret" from Wheeler, who did not attend the hearing.
She said the incidents had occurred over a period of months and were "not an isolated lapse", and that there was a risk of repeating similar offences.
Mr Powell said Wheeler had not expressed any regret or apology or demonstrated she could comply with safeguarding guidelines.
He said her behaviour had shown a "deliberate and reckless disregard" for pupils and colleagues and had a "direct impact on some pupils".
He noted her previous clean reputation but said the seriousness of her actions meant only a prohibition order would suffice.
