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.

How did they discover the page? I'm curious about this.

Gaither said in the interview that she made an account on the direct-to-subscribers website because she has over $125,000 in student loans and needed the extra income.

"Teaching does not financially support a person," Gaither said. "It’s really hard to stretch those paychecks during the summer. That’s why I did it."

According to the report, Gaither's pay, which includes a stipend for coaching the school's cheerleading squad, was around $47,500.

When Gaither took the account down, she claimed to have had around 1,500 subscribers and was bringing in an extra $3,000 to $5,000 per month.

47,5/12= ~3.96k per month

With an onlyfan page, she made more than the teaching job. The issue isn't her onlyfan page. It's the paycheck at the end of the month. They must pay more. Supervisors also have to stop going on onlyfan for other thing than work. I don't believe they discovered it by chance.

Onlyfan is one of the symptoms of low income not a problem.

Jesus, I make like 3k less and never finished college. I do a shit job on phones. She gets peanuts for putting up with BS and doing 1.5 jobs for a school. Teachers don't get enough.

She's a high school teacher. I'm gonna guess the students figured it out first.

I'm in the "her life her business" camp, but I can at least see how that could be a problem given teachers like Mary Kay (I can't spell her last name, the blonde that seduced the 6th grader) but I'm also in the camp of: "parents it's your responsibility to police your kids" if the parents are concerned about their kids seeing nudity

At 12, you are still developing and cannot give consent to an adult for something like that. The fact that he said it was fine as an adult is irrelevant and is why the term grooming exists. (By the way, he said during their separation that he realized it was never a healthy relationship.)

And then there's the "treat the cause, not the symptom." The cause was her low pay. She couldn't make ends meet and needed to rely on an OnlyFans account to supplement her income. Maybe pay teachers a livable wage and they won't need to get side gigs?

Or we could just fire every teacher who tries to make ends meet in a way that some parent disapproves of and then have no teachers left.

Which one of those kids is gonna rat out their teacher?

My guess it was someone in admin who found it ... maybe not the first but they would have been the one to pull the plug.

[–] aaaantoine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

None of them.

Well... Not on purpose. I could totally see someone blurting the gossip in the school cafeteria.

... The butt plug?
