'This book is an excellent and topical exploration of issues of sex and sexuality in schools today, encompassing not only theory and discussion but also practical advice on dealing with sexualality issues in educational settings. This book is also a reminder that these sensitive topics extend beyond the well-known teacher-pupil scandals, to more complex situations involving colleagues or colleagues spouses, or indeed the harassment of teachers by students.'- Gender and Education, Volume 19, No.1, January 2007'The many excellent ideas and practical tips given in this book make it essential reading for teachers (particularly new teachers), school principals and governors, educational policy makers and teacher trainers. Teachers behaving badly therefore serves as an important foray into the beginnings of an informed and insightful debate on sexuality and sexual behaviour in the classroom.' - Gender and Education, Volume 18, No.6, November 2006
