A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

That problem would probably get a lot less acute if you guys over there finally started to pay decent wages to teachers

[–] [email protected] 181 points 1 year ago (4 children)

But if teachers were paid well, more talented people might decide to become teachers, and then children would receive better educations and possibly start to question why our society is structured the way it is. Much better to solve the problem at its root and keep everyone ignorant.

You are right. That would horrible.

Yes, the children yearn for the mines anyways. Just toss them in there and put some audiobooks over loudspeakers.

If that doesn't legally qualify as school, we can change the laws

Which is why the gym coach teaches history. He has an alternate name for the Civil War.

The war of northern aggression most likely.

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

Or the war between the states. Doesn't really matter, honestly. Anyone who uses an alternate name for it pretty much tells you that their sympathies lie with the confederacy.

The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces opened fire on the Union-held Fort Sumter.

Cuntfederates: I'm going to ignore that.

That's not really a consideration to the state governments deciding on how and why to keep teachers pay low. A version of that is at play in circulum design, but not really in pay.

It's mostly a mix of:

  1. Hatred of public schools
  2. Their kids go to private, or well funded public districts
  3. Poor resource management within state budget
  4. Desire to weaken public education system overall, to advance vouchers, charters, etc.
  5. Power. Getting off on their raw exercise or power.

The people who designed the system decades ago might have had the more nuanced, if still evil, approach that you outlined, but not now. The current crop are a lot stupider and their conception of cause and effect is a simplistic version of 1-1=0.

Ignorance is bliss so by not teaching our kids we can make them happier. /s

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

but... then... like....

how would we have actual teachers to wank off to on OF? huh? HUH?!

(/s. teachers shouldn't be forced to have a side hustle. Never mind, you know, doing gig-work pornos.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

To educators literally raising our kids?? Naahhhhhh.

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

^ Can confirm, have a teacher in the family and she struggles staying in the profession due to pay issue.

Agree teachers need decent wages but I'm curious why you view this (teachers running only fans sites) as a problem?

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

It's not a problem with onlyfans in particular but teaching is difficult and critically important work. It's a problem that teachers are not paid enough and have to look for side hustles (of any sort).
