Retired schoolteacher of around 25 years. Blah blah blah. Yes, we have no private lives. I was warned of that every year. She did nothing wrong. More importantly, ask why she had to supplement her income. I would not be able to survive on what I would be making today.

[–] givesomefucks 70 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Supplement?

If this is the one from a while ago, she was making 40k teaching and 120k on OF...

The only reason she kept teaching was she actually likes teaching.

But yeah, the best thing for a country long term is if educators are some of the highest paid positions. The investment into the next generation is one of the biggest pay offs. There's a lot of geniuses out there that just get a dog shit education and never live up to their potential.

Too many adults/voters just don't see the benefit of investing in the future

[–] fne8w2ah 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's especially criminal how teachers salaries have been allowed to outright stagnate over god knows how long.

[–] Burn_The_Right 11 points 1 year ago

About 50 years. That's how long.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I almost changed careers to teaching and dodged a bullet. Still a very worthwhile masters with the combination of philosophy, psychology, statistics and data interpretation ,management, and assesment. Its really an incredible field and its to bad it gotten such a short shrift.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

It's sad that a teacher could possibly have no private life. It's even more questionable how the account was "found". I see no one is mentioned as having found it and reported it.

I think it was foolish of the district to fire her; if no student knew about it. The article also neglects to mention parental outrage; so it would seem that not even a parent discovered this either.

If all of this was done explicitly outside of the school, off grounds, and not mentioned ever; it makes no sense other than a few adults finding it awkward.

[–] FuglyDuck 61 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the students didn’t know about it before…. They do now.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly. That firing does the harm they were trying to prevent.

Missouri is a very conservative place. They would see this as too scandalous, think her to be an immortal person, and not fit to be around children. I'm not saying it's right, just the perspective of the majority in that area of the country.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

an immortal person, and not fit to be around children

Nobody wants vampires around their kids!

But seriously, though, the people you're describing sound like they'd be right at home in Iran—moreso than a lot of Iranians.

[–] Zahille7 5 points 1 year ago

I live there. It sucks.

[–] Eldritch 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Missouri is deeply stupid. But not "conservative". And I say that as a lifelong resident. Talk about any liberal, progressive, or possibly socialist policy in isolation. Most Missourians would find them favorable. The biggest trick is to avoid their programmed triggers. If you can navigate around their programming. You will get rational and reasonable responses most times. But that's the trick. So many of them are so heavily programmed and tightly wound. That rationality is almost a foregone conclusion out of reach.

[–] Rapture 6 points 1 year ago

As someone who lives in missouri, its PAINFUL how accurate this is

[–] doingthestuff 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's probably a clause in her contract.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I seriously doubt that. You're putting way too much stock in that BOE to have sane practices like making their rules known ahead of time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it's most likely she didn't know they would fire her if they found out she was also an adult entertainer.

Even if it's buried in her contract; it isn't something that's typically discussed; and I doubt that they even so much as warned her once they found out. Literally she has the grounds for a lawsuit, but probably could care less as she makes better bank on OF anyways.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Assuming it’s anything like the multiple ones I’ve signed, the morality clause is not buried in the contract. She would have had to sign that specific section saying she understood it.

She rolled the dice and took her chances, but she got busted.

Sex work is work and no one should be shamed for it.

[–] BertramDitore 22 points 1 year ago

Fully agree. If no one is getting hurt and all are consenting adults then no one has any right to criticize.

We should all be shamed by teachers’ salaries.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People fuck. Their granny fucked in order for their mother to fuck in order to born them. Dogs fuck in the park. Cats fuck. Everything fucks. Yet they behave like teens (the horniest creatures judging by my own past classmates and poor-written fanfics I sometimes encounter now) don't know what sex is. Or don't know kids have seen it everywhere before these offended snowflakes been born. Their ancestors were arranging the bull to inseminate cows on a farm, other domestic species too.

It's all about power.

[–] BertramDitore 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup yup yup! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: most people think sex is awesome. If you don’t, then by all means don’t have it or watch it. But don’t you dare judge other people for doing one of the most natural and enjoyable things on earth.

It’s so strange to me that people stigmatize the one thing most humans have in common: that most of us are the byproduct of fucking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I agree with you.

The thing is... The game was fucked from the start.

– probably Benny, Fallout: New Vegas

Sex is the den of hypocriticism. It's shamed, it's not welcome anywhere, it's included in popular products, it's the biggest seller. Abscence from it and abundance of it were used as a tool to manipulate people up to the point it all get mixed up and makes no sense. It's as natural as sneezing, yet it's special status makes everything about it weird.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their ancestors where fucking with their kids in the room. Single room dwellings where the norm for a very long time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With what they don't do to provide an affordable housing, many would have a first hand experience of that.

Exhibition no 1: A concrete cave, where three generations lived together before a bloodshed over picking the right sauce. Youth of a clan depicted beheading corpses of elderly, and cementing them unknown to anyone to still have their pension to support their living.

How many people in Missouri railing against her are also subscribed to her? I bet it's a lot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Speaking of which, here's an oldie but goodie:

As it turned out, people in Utah County, a place that often boasts of being the most conservative area in the nation, were disproportionately large consumers of the very videos that prosecutors had labeled obscene and illegal. And far more Utah County residents were getting their adult movies from the sky or cable than they were from the stores owned by Larry Peterman.

It says, yes I'm that teacher.

Her getting fired could make her a lot of money lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She says she gained a bunch of new subs and raised her prices
