Prostitution Teacher

Interesting news from New Zealand on Stuff.

Teacher is also a prostitute

Monday, 22 September 2008

An Auckland primary school teacher moonlighting as a prostitute will have to wait for a decision on her future employment by her school's board of trustees.

The new teacher, a mother in her 30s with two children, has been working as a prostitute to supplement her income, the Herald on Sunday reported.

The newspaper, which did not name the teacher or her school, said a parent told the teacher's principal, who was balancing a possible negative reaction from parents with the woman's right to work in a job that has been legal in New Zealand since 2003.

It has been referred to the school's board of trustees, which will meet in committee to debate whether to ignore the issue, discipline the teacher or ask the Teachers' Council to decide.

The woman reportedly told the principal that her action in her own time was not his concern, and that it was not affecting her ability as a teacher.

Teachers Council director Peter Lind said the most important factor was whether the teacher's second job was affecting her teaching duties, "and there would have to be actual evidence".

Another employment lawyer, Patrick Walsh, said the council could intervene if the school deemed the teacher's second job involved "conduct that brings discredit to the profession".

So, yet again we see a section of the community thinking itself to be better than the rest of the world and decides to dictate terms to those who are a aprt of that community.
Here we have a teacher who wants to supplement her income as a teacher by working as a prostitute and the wowsers have a problem with this. Why? Are they worried that she will start charging students if business is slow? It's a profession that is legal in NZ yet they choose to attack her over her choice of what she does in her personal life. If anyone is to have a problem with this, it can be her husband or family - everyone else can go and get stuffed!

"Johnny - your dad looks hot... I think he needs to attend a parent-teacher conference to discuss your educational needs. Can you tell him that I will need to see him on Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday?"

Going on what I have seen in the last 20 years with regards the standards of teaching around the world - the profession that will suffer more from the combination of the two will be the oldest one. Of course, it couldn't hurt her should some of her customers want to be disciplined by the Naughty Teacher.
