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.

      Maybe I’m just a spiteful bastard at heart, but if we could drop all the gullible types who say things like “I never learned anything useful in school” on their own planet I think they’d learn pretty quickly that while they didn’t learn shit the people making society work around them did.

      Like, how do you not even have enough of your would-be street smarts to know that what you’re saying sounds like propaganda to defund schools even more?

        Statements like “I never learned anything useful in school” completely misses the point of primary education. There is, objectively, quite a few subjects that are “unnecessary” to learn but even if kids don’t remember the factoids and formulas they learn how to learn. So when they move on to higher education they know how to take notes, how to study, and that it’s okay not to understand everything immediately.

      Besides maybe the basic skills, I’d definitely say my parents generation definitely had better education. Then again, even with the basic skills, I question peoples’ abilities to read and write properly because of things such as the Internet (and soon I’ll probably end up blaming AI). I also include myself in that questionable category.

      My parents taught me to write. School taught me to write in cursive.

      I also read a lot on my own until shitty schools books killed my interest. That probably wasn’t the sole cause, but it was a big part of it. I just couldn’t dedicate time to reading on my own when I had to really put in effort to get through the school stuff.
