They also know they can keep their job without worry. If they don't come down, there is little deterrent.

Exactly why society has so many problems with criminals as people can get away with lenient sentences.
If you are someone who is happy for known criminals to be in charge of a school, good luck to you.
I'm glad the reality is as this teacher almost certainly will be sacked.
If you are someone who is suggesting that every employed person convicted of a criminal offence should also face losing their livelihood then I'm concerned.
This case seems shocking as we can all see it being played out on cam footage but unfortunately, in the wider scheme, it's actually a relatively minor offence and didn't even lead to a custodial sentence.
We already have a large workless criminal class in this country and if you dismiss those who have made mistakes that are unrelated to their job then you risk inflating that class yet further. She has been judged and punished by the court and doesn't need to be punished for a second time. Sitting around on benefits will not do her or the taxpayer any good at all. Far better that she learns from her mistake and passes on what she has learned to the children in the school.
