    After her OnlyFans became public, Coppage told KMOV that she made $1 million on the platform. Her yearly teaching salary was $42,000, she said at the time.

    OnlyFans and high school teacher absolutely do not mix. There is a 0% chance one will be able to properly educate students in that environment.

      If only we paid them a living wage so they wouldn’t have to seek additional income to survive.

        ST. LOUIS…Her yearly teaching salary was $42,000

        In 2016, the median household income in the City of St. Louis was $42,000. source (expand the dropdown: What does this indicator measure’)

        She made as much teaching as the median household income in the area by herself (completely ignoring the rest of her household). Since when is that not a living wage?

    I love how the employer admitted to not checking her references or googling her beforehand.

    Can’t really blame her when they didn’t do their due diligence.

      Yeah, the ones who hired a teacher without doing any sort of a background check are the ones who really should be fired. Imagine if they hired someone who was actually dangerous to their students.

    It feels like she knew she would get fired from this new job, leverage it nationwide articles and get even more subscribers to her OF page. She even references the teaching gig in her bio, and the new job in her latest posts.

      Maybe. It doesn’t matter. Jobs shouldn’t be able to fire you because you get naked on the Internet, which requires you to pay to even see in the first place.

      Edit:

      @meep_launcher@lemm.ee made a great point about teacher/student dynamics and I can agree with that in most circumstances (e.g. the students are underage). I still think it’s ridiculous for her second, non-teaching job to fire her.

        I’m a teacher and they specifically have guidelines on what you’re behavior online should be. Keeping your socials clean. Making sure my interactions with students are kept professional.

        The fact is that kids these days are nosey and great researchers. Having an only fans as an educator has a huge risk of students discovering it, and will ultimately change the relationship between student and teacher from a student/ teacher relationship to a viewer/ pornstar one.

            This thread seems to fall into the “people who have no idea about the realities of teaching being confidently incorrect”.

            As someone somewhere said; if you want to lose faith in comment sections, go to a discussion on a topic that you are an expert on.
