A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.

Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.

Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave on Wednesday after being interviewed by two administrators. Her access to school email and other software was suspended while the district investigates, she said.

“It was kind of always like this cloud hanging over my head, like I never knew when I would be discovered,” Coppage said in an interview. “Then, about two weeks ago, my husband and I were told that people were finding out about it. So I knew this day was coming.”

OnlyFans - $96,000-120,000

Teaching - $42,000

Holy shit, teaching was her side hustle

Teaching was for the health insurance

Being a real teacher on OF might raise her rates too.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Being a teacher on the news for having an OF definitely will increase her traffic.

Still waiting for a link.

Better sex ed than the Missouri average in all likelihood too

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That’s fucked.

[-] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 98 points 1 year ago

Turns out getting fucked on camera is more profitable than getting fucked by the school district. The hours are probably better too.

[-] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

Plus you get to choose who's doing the fucking

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Better coworkers too, I bet!

[-] ericisshort@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

I’m sadly surprised she was making that much as a teacher.

[-] irotsoma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Teachers are decently paid in some places, like where I live, but, yeah, definitely not in a conservative place. Don't want to attract any highly educated people and have to keep the ones who do it for the love of teaching so destitute that they don't have the energy to put into fighting the political crap.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It really depends on the district. I value having good schools for my kids so I live in a district where they are making about twice that.

Holy shit, teaching was her side hustle

it was source of health insurance, probably.

[-] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

I doubt most creators on OF make that much. You are just a drop in the sea of coom.

[-] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I just can't believe she kept reaching....

[-] zipfelwurster@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Are these numbers before or after taxes?

[-] cryptosporidium140@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I don't believe it said. I never hear people report post-tax salary so I'm guessing pre-tax

[-] zipfelwurster@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you. 42k pre-tax for a teacher is abysmal.
