A Missouri high school teacher has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary. And while she says her teaching days are probably over, she acknowledges that she knew the risks.
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.
Best thing we can do to help the children is to pay teachers substantially more. Until then, things like this will keep happening.
