A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.
Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.
Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave on Wednesday after being interviewed by two administrators. Her access to school email and other software was suspended while the district investigates, she said.
“It was kind of always like this cloud hanging over my head, like I never knew when I would be discovered,” Coppage said in an interview. “Then, about two weeks ago, my husband and I were told that people were finding out about it. So I knew this day was coming.”
Many Americans don’t recognize the importance of paying attention to local politics, even when they care about education.
We’re at a point where, in my opinion, that’s analogous to someone smoking and chewing tobacco their whole life and then being shocked when they’re diagnosed with cancer.
I know that comes across as sanctimonious and that isn’t my intention I’m just frustrated with amount of willful ignorance in our society.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I agree. I just felt the need to point out that there are still a great many people who value education but are not part of the solution, due to ignorance (ironically), apathy, or hopelessness.
I understand. I think I misunderstood slightly. I apologize if that came across abrasive.
No, not at all! No offense taken, just felt the need to clarify, like I said.
One is a real physical addiction, the other is willful obstinacy.
I think the surprise is the key element being compared
I don’t know of any addict of any substance, including food, who is surprised. I’m sure it happens, but in my underserved area, living to seventy or older is the real surprise.
That’s the point being made - it’s as absurd as an addict to a known cancerous substance being surprised at getting cancer.
Oh. Itt i fail sarcasm.
