<p>So, they should ask each of the administrators before they are hired: “Have you ever cheated on your wife? (or husband).” If they say, “No”, they can keep that in their files in case someone comes forward in the future. (They should ask every five years.) Since 70% of married men have done so, asking the question is likely to prove useful. (They can also ask if they ever had it videoed, or took pictures.)</p>
<p>She lost her job and lost the appeal. The problem was that the boys in the school found the porn movies on the internet and recognized her. They were shouting out her stage name in class, according to the article.</p>
<p>It’s sad, but it’s fair for her to lose the job because what she had done became a distraction and interfered with her classroom management. </p>
<p>When she was confronted about it, she lied and said she wasn’t the person in the videos…when she was. Mini’s analogy just isn’t apt.</p>
<p>I do feel sorry for her, and, as others have said, it might be different if she were teaching kindergarten. But 8th graders?</p>
<p>At my high school, in the early to mid '80s, a teacher was placed on leave for being pregnant. Unmarried, not in a committed relationship, and pregnant.</p>
<p>She won the court case and went on to teach many more years at the school. I think they even made one of those cheesy TV movies about it too.</p>
<p>It’s not the sex, it’s the porn film. Sex for money with a stranger on the Internet. I just can’t see this woman disciplining a student without having some crude remark thrown back at her.</p>
<p>this kind of stuff mixed with 8th graders? yikes… I’m not sure anybody would want that kind of attention. But that’s just me.</p>
<p>Tatin, then that is a teachable moment with that kid. Ans that kid is the one with the issue, not the teacher. </p>
<p>That same kid might yell inappropriate things about a birth defect a teacher has, or about the teachers other life choices ( homosexuality??). </p>
<p>That would not be tolerated, why is this behavior? </p>
<p>You might not like it, but porn is legal. </p>

<p>So the adulterers get to kick the porno queen out of her job for lying.</p>
<p>What’s wrong with this picture?</p>
<p>So, a good teacher who has turned her life around is fired? What a world we live in.</p>
<p>And no one seems to think that there’s an issue with eighth grade boys watching porn?</p>
<p>I know which of the 10 commandments has the proscription against adultery. (Then there is the one about coveting…)</p>
<p>Which one prohibits making porn?</p>
<p>A lot of people with unsavory pasts, presents and futures in any field. If there is no direct violation of contract, then I don’t know if she can be fired. In her case, lying about it may have been what lost her the job. If she had been upfront about it, some sort of arrangement may have been able to have been made if there were too much of a brougha that came of it. Work with her on some solutions, not fire her. But if she broke the rules, such as lied on the app or when quesitoned, if anything she did do is a listed offense for which one can be fired, out she should go.</p>
<p>life choices have consequences…that’s the teachable moment for miss porn</p>
<p>People change, and judging people based on their past LEGAL activities is inappropriate. And for all of the holier than thou christians, it is against your religion. </p>

<p>I think lying to officials to protect your basic privacy is perfectly OK.</p>
<p>it’s not about judging…her past actions will cause a lack of respect in the classroom. She has to go.</p>
<p>If the children (8th graders) do not respect her, that is a parenting problem. They should respect their teacher because she is an adult and teacher. Respect. Period. </p>
<p>And if they don’t respect her because of her past, it is because they have been taught she has done something wrong, or immoral, and they are judging her. </p>

<p>So we respect adults for the sole reason they are such?</p>
<p>Um, no. Teachers must be an example.</p>
<p>But really, they should reassign her to a younger age group.
8th grade boys are filthy at times. O_o
AND WHY ARE THEY WATCHING PORN? Ugh. So many things wrong with this…</p>
<p>Alexis, in the classroom, yes. Respect because they are the teacher and the leader of the class. You do not say rude things, and you are not disrespectful to them. Period. </p>
<p>That does not mean you have to like or agree with them but you show them the respect the position of teacher deserves. </p>

<p>They should ask each of the male administrators (at their interviews) how much porn they watch. And keep the answers in their files. It’s important, because computers are so easily hacked these days, and you never know what might turn up later…</p>
<p>According to recent surveys, 87% of men watched porn in the previous year, and 20% of them watched it at work. I’d love to see how many administrators lie when asked …</p>
<p>Just setting a good example for those 8th graders…</p>
<p>I disagree.
There are times when teachers abuse their position and invite variance.
I’ve had these experiences. I didn’t disrespect my teachers, but I did have to talk with them about unsavory conduct. </p>
<p>In THIS case, however, her past, while not glorious, is hers.
All in all, I wouldn’t take a job teaching this age group with such a past…
Sure what she did was legal, but imagine having a president who was a former porn star? It’s just…distasteful imo.
In middle school I had a teacher who “left” after making remarks in class about what beers he prefers.
Tis life.</p>
<p>Edit: My thoughts on men especially who view porn are most likely too much for this thread, lawl.</p>
<p>More than a president who has been watching it for 40 years? and lying about it?</p>
