Maybe pay teachers enough that they don't have to do this if they don't want to?
And if they do want to, how does it affect their efficacy as a teacher?

I strongly agree with both points, but it should be noted she was making almost 75k as a teacher according to the article which is definitely on the high end for Ohio teachers
was also a cheerleading coach and yearbook adviser with a salary of $74,720 at the time she resigned.
Edit:
Reading more into the article, she's been teaching for 30 years. 75K for that sort of experience is ridiculous
75K being the high end for educator salaries anywhere in the US is a disgrace.
Tax our corporations, tax our wealthy, pay our teachers, rebuild the middle class.
Absolutely. You shouldn't have to dump 30+ years of your life into your job just to get a wage that should be the baseline salary for your job.
They don't want smart teachers the same way they don't want smart cops.
By they I mean the people funding lobbyists and cop unions, they go support the ones that cut the budget or push oppressive policies.
I am in tech. My spouse was a teacher for 9 years. I made nearly 5 times as much money as her and worked literally half as much.
It's egregious.
My mom was a Special Education teacher in NJ for 40 years and topped out at 89K/year. 12 years out of college I was making $110k/year working in IT.
Right???? I mean the options are to pay teachers according to the importance of the job which I feel like everyone agrees is high. Or, don’t be surprised when teachers are pulling side gigs. Like pick a lane. Don’t shame the side gig if you can’t pay what the primary position is worth. I’ve been making far more than this teacher for the past 20 years and my job ain’t even close to as important as hers. Not even in the same ballpark.
75k is livable in Ohio
That being said.
Pay teachers more and administration less.
In my area admin gets paid 4x what teachers do.
This happens way to often.
I just don't see how it should matter if they have an OnlyFans account. Do they think her having an account would influence the HS cheerleaders she coaches? The ones that want to make money on OnlyFans are counting the days to their 18th, and the ones that don't, won't. Their coach getting frisky online is not going to change that.
PS: I am also fifty, so this is not me having the open mindedness that comes with youth, this is me being Gen-X and reiterating, "whatever".
EDIT:
"Likewise, people can label me anything they want to; however, it doesn’t change the commendable level of dedication and exemplary work ethic I execute as an educator. Regardless of what I do in my private life for the sake of keeping a roof over my family’s head and a car parked in the garage, I remain one of the greatest English teachers ever to serve in the Springfield Local School District. "
“My students learn to value their personal and academic growth in my classroom, which is an environment where they are embraced for their individuality, they are engaged to apply their talents, and they are enlightened about their true potential. The numerous accolades and recognition I have earned over the 28 years I spent in SLS is evidence of that.”
Fuck yeah, sista.
So I know this argument has holes and I'm playing devil's advocate here but it would dramatically lower her authority to her students.
"I'm not gonna listen to some fuckin slut telling me what to do" is something I could very clearly see happening in a lot of cases.
It's hard enough for teachers who live "respectful" lives to maintain their authority let alone if a kid could just go to Google and pull up the teachers nudes or a video of them getting railed like a sex toy.
Let teachers be hot!
Geha launched an investigation into Ruziscka on Jan. 26, and confirmed that “the evidence was secured with guidance from the district attorney
Land of the free my ass.
A workplace shouldn't even be allowed to meddle in her private affairs at all, especially since it's a perfectly legal activity. USA is a Nazi country compared to more civilized countries in Europe. USA is allowing prejudice and bigotry to go wild without repercussions.
I can't even imagine the hell of living in that shithole country. Grow up Americans for fucks sake! Why do we have to see these insane stories from USA every single day?
The fact they were helped by the DA is even more insane!!! The school should be fined for doing it in the first place, and the DA fired.
How about people mind their own fucking business? If it was found out and parents were in an uproar and students were misbehaving then sure, maybe do something, but it wasn't causing a problem and some snooping asshole in the school district uncovered it. It wasn't a fucking problem so don't make it one.
link?
for supporting teachers and all
Hmmm I'm noticing a trend of this constantly being a thing now. It's almost like teachers don't make enough and need to have another....We need to pay teachers more.
Guaranteed she made way more with her OF account and no longer has to deal with the immense bullshit that comes with being a teacher.
If maybe teachers were paid a lot better, many teachers wouldn’t be forced to do things like this but it does seem the teacher is enjoying what’s she’s doing atm, so I would say that’s a big win tbh.
Still, Teachers are way underpaid for what they do tbh and get way too much shit for the things they have to put through.
She probably didn’t resign in shame, she probably resigned because she was forced to choose the higher paying of her two occupations.
You probably didn't read the article. That's how the word is used.
Man it's always the New York Post with kind of stories they just love them.
