Sir: The Government is missing the point in its backing for Chris Woodhead regarding his alleged affair with a student. Mrs Woodhead may not be able to prove Mr Woodhead's guilt but neither can he establish his innocence. Mud sticks. While he remains in office, any teacher criticised in an Ofsted report will be able to reply that they are at least not sleeping with their students.
