I hope one day we can move past this kind of bullshit. Who gives a shit if she's doing porn on the side?

She was teaching high school. Those kids would get access to her videos one way or another. Do you honestly feel like that's a healthy situation for anyone involved? I understand your perspective, and in almost every other profession it would not be a problem, but in real life, you don't put kids in a situation like that, it's not okay.

I'm not advocating enforcing any "conservative" ideals. I'm not sure where you all lost sight of the fact we're talking about children, here. They are not in a place in life where they can make healthy distinctions about sex like you and I can. They should be focused on other kids their own age. If you introduce a sexual angle into the power dynamic of a teacher/student relationship, how on Earth is that going to improve the child's life in any way? The kids' lives are what we should be focused on, here, right?

Anyways, you can get mad all you want at my, frankly, appropriate and reasonable viewpoint here. The teacher herself stated she knows she cannot do both at once. Like, she knows that. She's not asking for you or anyone else to come gallivanting to her defense because, as a teacher, she understands it's not appropriate.

Best thing we can do to help the children is to pay teachers substantially more. Until then, things like this will keep happening.

Well you sure as hell aren't going to hear any arguments from me on that one. I think that's the real story, here. That woman was making an embarrassingly small salary for her service. Missourians should be ashamed of themselves.

Sadly, the low pay for teachers is pretty pervasive across the entire US. My first teaching job paid $36k per year in Wisconsin in 2013. Luckily, rent wasn't quite so expensive back then, but it's still an outrageously low income for what is expected from teachers. I don't know a single teacher who either doesn't have a second job or a spouse that makes quite a bit of money.

"Think of the children" is literally what a teacher's job is.

She was making 42K a year as a teacher and 8-10K a month on OF before she got a boost in subscribers from being exposed.

I think she'll be fine financially.

For now, yes. Porn Business has declining earnings when the actor/actress gets older though…

So wait. We want them to carry weapons and possibly shoot and kill, but can't make consenting adult xx videos online?

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Of course! Won't someone think of the children?!?!?

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I do wonder what stories like this portend for the future of education…. Most starting teachers are young women and pay is abysmal, but many young women can be much more successful On sites like onlyFans. As that loses its stigma, teaching will find its strongest demographic looking elsewhere, so what do you do.

What did you expect from the "Porn bad" "Guns good" crowd?
