Topic : 12/06 Teacher Troubles

I'm currently watching the show on the Teacher whose past was as a porn star.  My heart goes out to this teacher and more importantly her children.

I wonder of all the people including the male teacher on the show with her can stand tall and look at their ENTIRE past history and wonder how clean his past his.  I will assume he never drank under age, never tried any illegal drug or even smoked, and I certainly hope as a young boy himself never looked at porn, those are all not great traits that should be advocated to students.  I agree with the Teacher's lawyer, what has been done to the young boys who were watching PORN.....I hope someone is helping these boys since Pornography and sexual addiction is a huger problem in our society today.

I am a parent of 2 young daughters and if this was a teacher at my school and knowing her past, I will be honest I would be concerned initially but if she as good a teacher as she claims than I would be more than happy to have her as my child's teacher.

I agree teachers have a huge responsibility in our child's life and sometimes their life decisions, but what is community teaching their students.....If you make a mistake you can never be forgiven for it, you will be labelled forever and a mistake you made as a young person will effect you 20years later. 

Wow there must be a lot of super "perfect" people in her community.

Jesus said to a group of people who wanted a woman stoned for her sin:

Only if you yourself are without sin then cast the first stone.........

Do you know all but Jesus left the woman and he did not stone her, no he Forgave her....

Unfortunately there are so many people in our world who does not want to take the responsibility of A-raising their own children and dealing with their mistakes and B-some many people want to "hang" people simply in order to make themselves and their problems seem less of a sin.....

I wish this teacher the best of luck.  I hope if nothing else parents will stand up and protect and help those teachers who are really in this very difficult profession for the RIGHT reasons.

I pray and hope that this Teacher and her children will grow stronger and come out better.  I wish everyone in this community hope for healing and that something positive can be learned from this event.

RIGHT ON!

By "giving a break" to students... we are in fact GIVING A BREAK to their parents.  I am a teacher, and have been for 6 years, as is my husband.  Somehow we have to get back to holding children, (especially high schoolers) accountable for their deeds.  Those students should NOT have been WATCHING the porn.  Where were their parents while these students needed role models?  Why were parents not watching and advising their students regarding "movies"? Instead these children are setting porn stars as role models instead of REFORMED people who have made something from their former mistakes.

DID the administration get asked if they had ever WATCHED porn?

They are just as guilty for having watched it as the teacher was for producing it... there's now a difference however because the teacher was repentant and turned her life around,

The vice principal should have been asked the question, "have you ever watched pornography?"

I'll bet he would have been QUITE RED~

I'm a senior in High School right now, and I think the principal is doing the wrong thing.  She wants to make the headlines all on her, if there is one thing I have learned about "embarassing" situations is that people eventually forget.  The letter that Dr. Phil read outloud seemed completley remorseful and since this seems to be the students first offense it should be dealt with than let go.  What if this was another teacher in the school? Would she do the same procedure for them?  Students are constantly being bullied on cyberspace- but it is rarely heard of them going to court,  if anything she should stop worrying about herself and worry about this happening to the students in her school and how she can help stop this.

I cannot believe the absolute arrogance of the school board. She should still be looked at as a role model. She can show students that no matter how bad you think you have screwed up you can always rise above! No matter where you come from or what horrible things you may have done in the past you can change and become a responsible, participating member of society. Instead, they want to sit back and cast judgement on this woman. This is ludicrous! I would love to hire someone to dig into their pasts and just see what they have managed to keep hidden. I am positive every single one of them would have something that could be found offensive to at least one or more groups of people.

    If the pornographic materials that she had participated in involved minors then I could fully understand their concern. But it didnt. The pornographic movie(s) that she was in was targeted for an adult audience. Not children! The children should have been held accountable for possessing the movie to begin with. Why weren't the parents held accountable for allowing their underage children access to such material?  The school board was so very wrong in dismissing this poor teacher. ** I would like to know this, of all the adults involved in making this decision, how many of them watched this video (and probably continue to do so)? Im sure people in this community would be shocked to know the answer to that one!
