Schoolkids rush to defend teacher suspended for ‘sultry’ selfie after recording her dressing-down on mobile phones
Lydia, 39, was escorted from Ousedale secondary, Newport Pagnell
THESE selfies got teacher Lydia Ferguson suspended by school bosses.
Pupils filmed Lydia, 39, getting told off for being “sultry” and escorted from Ousedale secondary, Newport Pagnell, Bucks.
Schoolkids said they overheard the mum of three being dressed down and filmed the eight minute row on their mobiles.
A students' petition called "Get Miss Ferguson Back" had more than 250 signatures last night with some of them coming from parents.
It accused the 2,000-pupil mixed school of being too prudish.

One youngster said: "There is nothing wrong with the photo at all.
“We think Miss looks lovely."
Other light-hearted selfies and fun snaps of her appear on her Facebook profile dating back three years.
Another added: "She is a brilliant teacher.
“She is there to help students who have problems like bullying and stuff.
“She does so much to help us and we're so upset she's been suspended.
"Not a single person thinks there is anything inappropriate about it."
Another pupil said: “All it was showing was a bit of leg.”
Head Sue Carbert said: "If we have any concerns about a staff member, this would not be discussed with students.
“We are aware of rumours but conclusions are being drawn which have no factual basis."
