NYC Teacher Admits She's a Former Hooker, Stripper

like others have stated..it may have been the only way to pay for her college..yes there are loans available, but every college student doesn't qualify for those either..what i've read she seems to have been a good teacher..let her alone, moniter if they want..but the past is the past..unless she turns out to have abused kids ..this particular past does not effect how she teaches

Shows how low morals and values have gotten when people don't think anything is wrong with this. One person even quoted from the Bible saying those without sin. This is not an issue of casting a stone this is an issue of morals and values, something that should be instilled in our children at an early age. Teachers are with the children more hours than the parents and they have much influence on a child. Even though she might not do a thing wrong, the fact that kids could think this was ok in order to get what you want to do in the end is wrong wrong wrong. Disappointment really comes when I come on here and see so many accept this as ok. A real sign that this world doesn't realize what is right and wrong anymore.

Hey look people deserve a second chance. I know of a police officers that was hooked on pot and did many wrong things in the past. Today she is a fine officer. If any thing she is a good example of what a human being can do to turn their life around when the motivation is there. The past is the past and it should remain there. And for those individuals who are going after her you need to look in your own back yard.

I agree that if she would have left it in the past it should not be an issue.
She chose to broadcast her past for some odd reason and therefore she has opened herself up for critisism. Also I do not know if the photo in the artical is how she dresses for school but she might want to button a few buttons and wear clothes that fit. Just an idea that might take some of the heat off. Finally do not be so stupid as to think that people telling all they have ever done as some sort of honesty.Most the time they do this to selfishly spread their burden to those around them. I am sure that there are many thoughts and deeds that should go to the grave with a person.

People can be so stupid. I would see if the woman said she was a pedophile but she had sex for money with other consenting adults many teachers have slept with many consenting adults for free, should we ridicule and fire them too? If she is the teacer of elementary students than how exactly can she be a bad influence? By the time the children grow up and start considering sex themselves they will have forgotten about this woman. This lady and her action would not even be thought of on a subconcious level.

You know, when I was 37, a mom of a kindergarten boy, divorced, and suddeny unemployed because I wouldn't give out to the comptroller of our luxury resort hotel and after well over a month of sexual harassment, I told the President/Manager of the hotel, walked into the employee entrance the next working day and was met by bodyguards right at the door of the HRVP and told that my job had been eliminated, was escorted up to my area to collect my personal effects, and as I walked out, the HRVP told me not to worry about getting another job in the Hospitality Industry because the dozen or so men who owned the most of the hotels, motels, restaurants, and resorts had already been called NOT to hire me, so, not to worry about getting a job too soon. And so I went to unemployment and told them my story and to sign up for unemployment, and first I was asked why I wasn't looking for a lawyer for the sexual harassment, and I said that I knew that then I would not get a job even at a gas station if I did that and also I didn't have the money for an attorney, and then I knew that none of the other executive assistants or secretaries would risk their jobs by telling the truth about the sexual harassment, even though it happened, because they told me to just ignore it, if I couldn't just go along with it, because it was a hospitality thing, if I wanted to get ahead. Then we did that paperwork, she asked for the hotel's number and asked me for a moment to wait and she asked to speak with the HR (human resources) manager, and introduced herself and her reason for calling, and she let him know that he was very, very lucky I was not suing for sexual harassment and losing my job over sexual favors, and that Unemployment did have depositions of other workers in the same area to get the truth out and in your face. Thus, this being the case, the hotel having black balled me from getting a job in the hospitality industry would be solely responsible for my unemployment until whenever and as long as I could not find a job, and they hoped not to hear of another situaton as such. I told her that they would probably put it in their application that there would be no commentary about employment practices or to expect a lawsuit of some sort to scare any future employees from speaking as I have done. Well, month after month I grew more and more desperate, as the rate for unemployment was not the how much I had made as a working person, and as I said I grew more and more desperate, and I don't know just how many friends and companies they had contacted, and I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, after 8 months, I, TOO, did begin to consider the oldest profession in history.

I had been a Sunday School Teacher when I was single and lived up North, I married a refugee and when his family began to escape as boat people and under the Lord's protection, none of the boats were caught by Khmer Rhouge Pirates, and all 13 of them arrived safely in Boston to our care, which we did for a decade with great love, and unfortunately when my husband quit his job to open his own architectural office, and we lost our townhouse in Boston just behind the Prudential Tower and he spent all our savings without telling me and spent our credit limits as high as they would go for new clothes when he was saying he was working and finally told me that we were going to get phone calls from creditors looking for him just say that I haven't seen him for rather a while. And we ended up in Bankruptcy Court, and so that was how I ended up in Florida, where he took an architectural job but had become depressed and rageful and physically angry at me and our 4 year old son, I had to do what I had to do, so I became a single Mom and working at the Marriott.

He paid child support only when made to through the courts, but still the rent ourside of the nervous neighborhoods took about all of the child support and what I made at the Marriott gave us the money for good preschool, La Petite Academy, and a breakfast at Denny's or a McDonald's lunch once in a while, and we had our steaks and our chops once in a while, and once a year we got to go to a Disney place of his choice, and we could go to the Museum on Saturday mornings when it was free, then, and a play or symphony once or twice a year, and it was good, we went to Marineland, instead of Seaworld, much, much cheaper, and we shopped at thrift shops where we made a game of it, who could find Peter's size and something he liked first.

And when I still could not find a job...and so once again I sat there late at night looking at the want ads, and there were JOBS FOR EXOTIC DANCERS NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, and I wasn't stupid, and we, my little kid and I, we were poor, and I couldn't find a job anywhere and couldn't take my son too far away that his father's visitation would be interrupted, and I didn't want that either, and the promised money for EXOTIC DANCERS sounded really good and who was there, besides my ex, to care...I went to church on Sunday, had my son baptised at last, was classroom mom 2-3 days a week, while I was taking college classes until I found a job. Who were the other mothers of the kids in my son's class to judge, only those without sin be the first to cast stones, so I thought wasn't that what Jesus said, Judge not lest yea be judged by others, I remembered, all the time I thought that way, way into the night, with a glass of wine, and into the morning light, to take my son into school, and I thought, these mom's, those who have their tennis lessons right after they drop their children off, already dressed in their tenniswear and shoes and I sat on the side of the classroom cutting out pieces in colored construction paper for an art project later that day, and the requisite nod at me these mothers in this new and ready rich neighborhood, while this mediocre apartment complex had been there for a dozen or so years already so my son got to go to school with these ready rich kids. And I thought, what would they think? And then I thought, what did it matter? And then I t hought, What would Jesus think? And I thought, he would think I didn't have enough money, that's what I thought Jesus would think, and maybe that our society doesn't take care of it's own very well, that's what I thought...but what would the other mother's SAY and GOSSIP and tell their KIDS...NOT TO PLAY WITH PETER, that's what I thought. And then I knew, poverty is better, not that Jesus would look down on me, not that the other mother's would look down on me any worse, just differently, but that this time, Peter would suffer for his mother's choice of living, and this gifted kid would be socially ostracized that he wasn't just for being poor, even as the society wasn't much of a help, but I knew I had to choose poverty, for the sake of my son. Is that right? I don't know, but it was what I chose, where I was led that night into day, and not without resentment of society, but this was where He led me to think and left me to conclude.

As for the rest of you, who drop off your kids in your tennis clothes for your lessons right after you say "Have a great day," and know that Khol's is having a 50% sale, and you're meeting your friend there after your tennis lesson, but have to get home for 10:30 for the maid and change up to meet your French Class to have lunch at La Maison at 12:30, you might want to make a class project to make a French pot luck for the homeless at the Soup Kitchen down town, or something of that sentiment. God has eyes.

If more time and energy were spent fighting drugs and pedoplilia, we would not have time to judge a lady for making money the best way she knows how. Ye without sin cast the first stone. I know there are those out there that are chased but they are few and far between. I know this because I have been in the dating scene before. You would be surprised at the things that go on out there, and you don't even have to pay for it. So if she can make a little money with it why judge her.

Yea so. I wonder if they started to administer drug test how my teachers you would catch. Never mind how many are child molesters, wife beaters, alcoholics. Do you want me to keep going.
So she was a hooker, she is getting her life changed.

Leave her be.

She chose protitution...she believes it is ok to be a prostitute and to "use" prostitutes and defines herself as a feminisit. this woman is looking for notoriety....her own reality show. If she is ndeed a feminist she would know that 1- prostitution is illegal in most places in the US except in Nevada? 2- Most prostitutes ...money for hire hookers are used and abused buy their pimps and the profession is degrading, humiliating and not one a true feminisit would be professing to support. A true feminisit would not want woman to be used in this manner. Speak to a few recovering drug addict prostitures....who don't have an art degree.

Not a good role model? Aren't we a nation where dispite our mistakes of the past we can correct and become more then that? I applaude her and what she did to turn her life around. Perhaps it was the only way she knew at the time to get the money to go to school and show others that anyone can do anything. Don't judge others. I bet those who judge her had sex for free though.

Maybe the lady can show yours girls not to go that way with their lives. Doesn't everybody deserve a second chance except child molester's ? I can't believe she would open up about this knowing the flashback it would cause. Don't put the sarlet letter on someone who did wrong and now has changed for a better life.

You wouldn't have known except she was honest and told everyone. Honesty is a damn good trait. Im sure some of you aren't the perfect role model for your own children. Discriminating against someone with a difficult past is a quality I wouldn't want my daughter around. I have raised her to accept peoples faults and lifestyles.

It doesn't matter if she is qualified or doing a good job. Many teachers have to sign contracts saying they have and will act in a way that sets a good example for their students. If she was asked to sign a similar contract when being hired, she can easily be fired. Her past and present behavior cannot disrupt the education process, if students and parents are discussing this issue, the education process will certainly be disrupted. She probably should have thought about what she was doing when she advertised her previous behavior. Teacher contracts with morality clauses are pretty standard, I am an Elementary Education major.

Gee wiz! From the shocked nature of the headline, I thought it was discovered that she voted for McCain! A hooker? I don't think it's relevant. As long as she's qualified, and her past doesn't include sex crimes against minors, then it's fine.
