One of the teachers in the OP’s story claims to make $10K a month from her account (though in another story on her I found a claim of $1M netted so far) ; the other claims $3K-$5K. So no chump change. According to Only Fans, the top 10% of creators makes $5K/month or more. The average, though, is only a couple hundred bucks a month. So you do have to be good at it and creating a market for yourself, but it’s attainable.
Then they should get paid a salary commensurate with those requirements. If they are then there’s no reason for them to take these standards seriously.
I agree, and in some places they do. Here in Ontario, for instance, although teacher salaries vary across a wide range depending on grade level and experience, most teachers do fairly well. I’m not aware of any that prostitute themselves for extra money.
According to recent numbers commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, high school teachers in the province make, on average, six figures a year — $103,926 with benefits included.
This is how much the average Ontario high school teacher makes per year
It’s just one of many factors, along with decent funding, that has led to the success of the public school system …
But I can see why that’s a concern, based on this from the OP’s linked article:
A passive, Newtons-first-law-esque way to describe or excuse the choice to control women’s bodies.
That’s it in a nutshell. Having a teacher who is a porn star in front of a classroom full of hormonally saturated adolescents would redefine the term, “distraction”. It would also start a war at school board meetings attended by a large number of outraged parents.
Bullshit. I’m as adamantly pro-choice as one could possibly be, and am grateful to be living in a country that has no abortion laws whatsoever. Was there some actual point you wanted to make?
If any teacher is ineffective, I’m all for replacing them. But not for just assuming they suddenly can’t do their job.
You’ve highlighted the dissonance well enough to require no further clarification.
Here’s a question. Suppose the teacher in question was starring in amateur boxing matches for fun and profit. Really beating the crap out of each other but with gloves. She’s wearing a sports bra and boxing shorts. A spectator who happens to be there videos the match and posts a picture of her with a broken nose and bloody face after the fight. Will there be an equal uproar? Should it be equal?
This is the most predictable response in the world, and it completely misses the realities of how decisions are made in the community, and it is completely oblivious to the needs of age-appropriate modeling of sexual behavior.
I believe students must view their teacher as a person of respect and authority in order to effectively learn from them. You can see how much respect the average man or woman has for sex workers by the way they hoot, holler and leer at them in strip clubs, for example. Kids, with their immature limbic systems, have even less control of their emotions than adults.
I have no doubt that images of teachers who post on porn sites would make their way to the classroom. Every school has a “bad kid” (you know, the kid who delighted in showing you illicit crap when you were in school). All it would take is for the bad kid to take screen shots of the teacher from his dad’s porn site account, then show them at school, where they will spread like wildfire on student’s smartphones. The response won’t be one of respect when they see Miss Crabapple shaking her naked bootie.
I have a lot of respect for good teachers. It’s a difficult job, and they aren’t compensated enough for their efforts. I have friends and family members who left the teaching profession (that they once loved) because they couldn’t make ends meet with the low pay, and/or they got fed up dealing with students and their over-protective parents’ lack of respect. I’m all for allowing teachers to find additional sources of income (or, even better, pay them more for teaching)—so long as it doesn’t disrupt the teaching environment. I believe viewing porn shots of your teacher creates a disruptive learning environment.
Much moreso than just having an attractive teacher? I went to an all-boys Catholic school. We were plenty distracted enough by teachers we considered attractive. I don’t see how having a sex tape or naked pictures out there could have created even more of a distraction. If it did, it might be for a couple days then back to normal. It’s not like we’re watching porn in school. I really don’t understand this mindset.
I have? For those of us who may be a little slow, maybe you’d care to highlight in detail the alleged dissonance between Republican misogynistic attacks on women’s reproductive rights and the desire to have teachers entrusted with the education and mentoring our children conform to the minimum standards commensurate with the job, including academic and ethical standards and societal mores.
Yes, I believe looking at your attractive, fully clothed teacher is less disruptive than looking at your attractive, naked teacher.
In class?
No one is looking at naked teaches IN the classroom so how is that less disruptive?
If the teacher was naked in class, that would certainly be disruptive. But, I’m talking about viewing porn photos of the teacher on a cellphone, either in class, or out of class (then being disrupted in thought during class, using their young, hyperactive imagination).
I have no problem with teachers engaging in porn for any misguided morality code, I simply believe it would disrupt student learning.
Any evidence of this actually happening, or is this just the hyperactive imagination of pearl-clutching parents?
