Teachers caught having sex at Swansea school struck off

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-34204846

Two teachers who had sex in a school office in Swansea have been struck off.
A tryst between Bethan Thomas and head Graham Daniels came to light after a pupil filmed outside the door at Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg in Bryn Tawe and posted it online.
Both teachers resigned from their jobs.
A fitness to practice hearing of the Education Workforce Council in Cardiff ruled their conduct was unprofessional, calling it "reckless", and struck them off for three years.

Wouldn't it have been enough to just fire them?

Although "firing" sounds pretty severe too come to think of it.

THAT seems like pretty disgusting behaviour. Of course, the teachers should not have chosen school premises for their activities; but I hope the pupil didn't get off scot-free. In 10 years time, the kid'll be working for The Sun.
