A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.
Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.
The teachers that I know all get summer jobs which bumps their yearly income up several thousand dollars.
A lot of teachers need to use the summers for conferences and planning lessons for the upcoming year. (My wife was a teacher.)
If it’s a required thing they should obviously get paid for that time.
If it’s the same in the US as in where I lived, the employer will try to push working hours count to as low as possible. Like, you must do this and that to prepare for work but who knows how much time you spend for that so we pay nothing.
To be fair, this is not uncommon in other fields, where you must get better to stay useful for an employer but that effort is only “paid” in rases (sometimes) or not being fired.
