    Default Need some advice about teaching.

    I am currently a cam model, and have done a few movie shoots (of course different name) I know I will eventually want a career and have decided I want nothing more than to become a highschool teacher. Do any of you girls have experience?

    I am not embarrassed for being a cam girl and doing some porn, I fell into a hard time and instead of going on welfare, I found a way to pull myself out. Although you have all these people saying theres other options out there, most respectable jobs will fire you if they find out about your past. Porn is perfectly legal in the united states, and it is covered under freedom of expression, being that public school are government funded, they would need to follow the constitution. I also understand some schools have a morality clause, however how can such a clause have any merit on somthing I did, before I signed the clause? Obviously it would be different if I continued while in school.

    I know theres been cases that have come out for other teachers, and they have resigned, however I do not see how thats not discrimination. Morality is a relative term, how can you fire somone based on their moral creed if its legal? Chances are Im just going to change my look slightly and go ahead with it, the chances of somone finding me are slim, and if somone asked couldnt you merely deny it? How would they know? Anyways I wonder if theres some other girls dealing with this too. I guess I am just afraid I will go to become a math or history teacher, get fired, and my degree will be worthless. Thanks for listening to my rant, let me know your thoughts .

    Well, I am not a cam girl and haven't done porn, but I am and was a stripper and also taught school (middle) for a year.

    I don't believe that something you've done in your past should make a huge difference on your career choices in the future. If you're found out and deny it, there are ways to find out it was you, so I don't think that would be the best way to go. But that's a problem to deal with IF it ever happens. And I agree it does seem like discrimination.

    But I'd go ahead and get started on your education program. They have student teaching built in to see if its what you really want to do. You can also volunteer to help with after-school programs and mentoring / tutoring. You can also probably get a job as a teacher aid or paraprofessional to help you make your decision.

    I would never mention what else you do. And if you continue to do it while student teaching and get caught you can pretty much say adios to the career. When I did dance while student teaching, I did it in another state. I don't know how camming work though, but it seems about as safe as dancing in another state.

    I don't know exactly how it works, but yes, even though it would be discrimination to fire you for something legal done in the past, the reality is, it can happen. If they find out, the whole community could find out, and "shame" you into leaving on your own. Or the parents could complain so much that the school district could pick some other reason to fire you, even if you know that's not the real reason. And after all that publicity and bullshit, even if you want to fight them, will you really have the money on your teacher's salary? And once it's out, it's out - and it will be tough to be hired again since schools could just do the same thing of not hiring you without giving a reason or giving a false reason.

    That's not to say that you will get found out or that this will happen, but it's just the reality of how it could go down even though it shouldn't legally be allowed to affect you. But if you never say anything to anybody (and I mean, anybody) that could ever affect your job (students, coworkers, random citizens, even family or friends as they could turn on you), then the chances of you being found out are slim. If you really want to do it, and feel it's your true calling, I'd go for it.

    Do you have a different look while camming/doing movies? I know some girls wear wigs/heavy make-up and end up looking very different from what they do in real life, which helps a lot if you want a mainstream job. I feel like in every instance I've heard where a teacher's camming/stripping/escorting past is discovered, she ends up resigning. If your face is easily recognizable on some of those free porn sites, then I don't know if you should try teaching...

    It's ridiculous that you can be kept out of a profession for doing something that was legal, but unfortunately it happens.

    Teaching is one of the big careers where it can be a "big deal". I know someone who had some videos of her and she was a teacher and got fired from a certain school because someone found out. I'm not sure what the written reason was that she got fired.

    I'm pretty sure that they can't fire you for doing porn exactly BUT they could find out that you do it and fire you for another reason. I'm pretty sure that's what happened to the person I know.

    I'll be honest - I don't have any huge goals career wise AND I know I'm not going to do teaching. I'll likely end up in some boring office job ... or something. I figure that my chances of being caught are pretty slim ... especially since I'm not that "big". BUT if I had a huge goal or something then I probably wouldn't be doing this.

    I don't want to be like "quit!" or anything ... but I think I would if I were in your situation. To do my dream ... I dunno ...

    It's so ridiculous that it has to come to something like this

    How would someone find out though? If you're a teacher, you teach tons of kids ... who have parents ... and parent/teacher nights ... any school occasions ... you're exposing yourself to a ton of people! One of them just needs to come forward with your video and bam ... there it is .

    you might consider what happened to one of my 'co-workers' ...

    from

    (snip)" Should ex-porn star, "Crystal Gunns" resign from working as an elementary teacher aide?

    Louisa Tuck, the cafeteria and playground aide who was once a porn-star, has offered her resignation to the Board of Education, reported The Daily Journal in Vineyard, after her past attracted intense media scrutiny last month.

    In a one-sentence letter to MaryAnn Greenfield, Vineland Public Schools' executive director of personnel, Tuck said she is "resigning in good standing" from her position, effective Dec. 8, at D'Ippolito Elementary School .

    Tuck had been performing for many years as Crystal Gunns, an adult film star who also posed for many nude-magazine photo shoots and performed stage shows. Tuck told The Daily Journal she left the adult entertainment industry five years ago, although the Web site bearing her stage name, CrystalGunns.com, is still active.

    Vineland Public Schools officials hired Tuck in June for a $5,772-a-year part-time job as an aide. Shortly thereafter, her former career – and the pictures and videos of her performing still available on the Web – came to the attention of parents and school officials.

    Parents complained to both D'Ippolito School and the district's central administration office, according to e-mail exchanges, obtained under the state's Open Public Records Act, between Principal Gail Curcio and district officials.

    School Board President Frank Giordano openly called for her termination, but Superintendent Charles Ottinger said attorneys for the school district and New Jersey School Board Association advised the district against taking action.

    "We did not ask for (Tuck's resignation). We did not require it. We did not force it," Ottinger said.

    Tuck's letter to Greenfield does not indicate why she is leaving the district, and it is not clear if the attention paid to her former career played into her decision.

    After The Daily Journal reported last month that parents were raising questions and Giordano suggested she be fired, hundreds of Web-based, print and television media outlets followed the story.

    Tuck has limited her public comments on the issue and asked The Daily Journal not to contact her again.

    Tuck's attorney, Jeff DiLazzero, did not return repeated calls for comment on Thursday.

    Tuck also works as a supervisor for children's programs at the Vineland YMCA. Executive Director and CEO George Steinbronn said "(snip)


    The risk factor of course is that, not only could you be placed under serious pressure to resign your future teaching position for reasons of 'moral terpitude' should your adult industry background ever be discovered, but the possibility also exists that local / regional / national media could also 'out' your porn history along with your real name and real address to family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances etc. See

    I would weigh the possibility that you could be found out against how badly you want to teach. It's such a wonderful profession and I really can see the pull of wanting to get into it (though i myself would never have the patience).

    Maybe consider changing your appearance to be radically different than you were then when being filmed, for example if you were a blonde, maybe go brown, black or redhead?



    Also that article said "the pictures and videos of her performing still available on the Web – came to the attention of parents and school officials. "

    Now let's think about that - just how did they come to the attention of parents and school officials? Sounds like some of them are fans, eh?

    Sad. Our world is so fucked up.

    Thanks for all the advice! Thats exactly what im thinking of doing, going from brunette to red hair, or black. As long as I dont tell anyone, and discontinue everything in the future, i imagine ill be fine just have to play it smart.

    It just bothers me that its this way in the first place. Im not ashamed of who I am, I do not feel I should be. These people need to take a long good look in the mirror.

    ^^^ totally understood. Unfortunately, the Internet is 'forever' ... so even if you discontinue everything related to adult entertainment in the future there's still a very good chance that your previous 'work' will be available on the net for years to come. Thus the only real protection you really have from being 'outed' like Crystal was is to do everything possible to 'change' your future appearance so you won't be recognized.


    Also that article said "the pictures and videos of her performing still available on the Web – came to the attention of parents and school officials. "
