So I'm reading the front page of CNN and see a headline entitled "Uproar over bikini-clad teacher pictures"

Apparently, someone discovered this young teacher posed for some lingerie and bikini shots and zip! zang! it's a scandal worthy of national coverage.

The news coverage was showing the usanbt.com site and so now it's gotten so many hits that it's down. If anyone can figure out which model it is let me know. They said her name was Erica something. I'm sure some of us have shot with her. Anyway, now she is subject to ridicule and has her job on the line despite the fact that she has broken no laws or school board regulations. So where is the story?

I feel bad for her. Really I do. If she was posing naked and was a schoolteacher I'd understand a little more. But lingerie and bikinis? Come on.

Good thing I have no desire to be a teacher.
I don't know what I want to do but I hope that my modeling can be kept seperate and not negatively affect my career.

Yeah it is ridiculous. Before I quit my 9 to 5 I was a Kindergarten teacher for 3 years fresh out of college and I had more parent-teacher conferences because of my parents insecurities with my modeling then with the academics of their children. I even had a expecting mother to try and get me fired because she said she didn't feel confortable coming into my class with an extra 50ibs while I had all the fathers staring me. I think the two will never match because of the old interpretation of teachers and what they should look like (Big glasses, hair buns, cat and dog sweaters, and coffee stockings).

What is this country coming to? You can't cross the street without someone getting upset. Too many double standards and too many people who aren't responsible for their own actions.

Example: Isaac Hayes drops his South Park contract for making fun of Scientology this year, but for the past however many seasons they (he) have been making fun of Jews, Christians, Mormons & everybody else. What as bunch of crap.

Example : The Stella Awards (google) when total morons break the law and or harm themselves and sue any and everyone else. 

Sorry for the rant.  If she's a good teacher it's a shame they would drive her away - our counrty has a shortage of the good ones.

Why does the school have to know that you model? It's one thing if someone comes across your pictures somehow, but I wouldn't give information.

The bikini site is working again, although slowly.

The women in question is "Erica Lee," featured on the main page.

Many moons ago, posing for Playboy got a teacher kicked out of a North Carolina school district. But bikinis? Yikes.

Maybe if we paid teachers a decent enough salary to buy groceries AND pay rent, they wouldn't have to search elsewhere for extra income.

look what a student said..

"I don't think it's appropriate," said Josh Yanover, a sophomore at the school. "It's a teacher. People are going to be paying more attention to her than what they are learning in class."

damn horny kids will be looking at her. HAHA

That happened at my school. There was a hot geography teacher that slept with a student. He was just quietly fired, no media blow-up.

Barf.

It is wrong for anyone to allow their children to think this way. It is never a woman's fault that she is considered physically attractive. It's a man's fault he can't keep it down and a woman's fault that she can't handle the competition.

Whats amusing is that there are probly other attractive staff members at that school and maybe even more risque then this one but they wont ever be mentiond because they dont get paid to look that pretty. I just think its a lil redicilious when you examine the stereotypes that are being stapled to the label of Model. a Model is just a job like any other and there is no reason to assume that it comes with unsavory behavior.  Being provokative or what not are behaviors of an individual. You dont have to be a model to be a child molester , and i think all the court cases in the past have shown this. No reason to think just because shes pretty there is more of a problem with the students . Pfh, if anything youd think they would assume "oh, model, shes pretty and in the professon -shouldnt have to go to lil kids she can proby get who ever she wants"

His little horny ass would've been looking at her regardless. LOL

I learned more from the attractive teachers than the ugly ones. The pretty ones probably got the most apples and had the cleanest chalkboards, while the ugly ones caught hell. LOL

Actually, a number of studies have proven this to be true.  We pay more attention to, and learn better from, more attractive people...

This hits close to home...  I am a first-year teacher, and in February, my students found www.mandelicious.com.  Some students think it is cool, some say it is disturbing.  Every day, someone yells "Mandelicious!" down the hall at me, or into my open classroom door.  I have kids coming up to me telling me that they've seen my pictures online, and that they've heard that I am a porn star. 

I have had parents call to complain, and had to have a meeting with the principal and a document put in my file that said that I was notified that I am expected not to do anything to defame my school or the school district, and that I need to make it clear that teaching is my top career priority, and not modeling.

It sucks.  I never wanted the kids to find my stuff, which is why my last name is not used...  But kids these days are technologically savvy.  (I teach 6-12th grade)...

Wow! That's horrible. I just got accepted into a master of arts in teaching program. I really hope that when I get out there and start teaching that I am able to keep my modeling separate.

true that. thats is an unfortunate story. she probably should have thought about that however when she decided to be a teacher. those pictures were im sure taken before she was in the field. i think of things like that as well. "will these pictures come back to bite me in the ass someday?" always have that in the back of your mind if you have thoughts of being in a professional field someday.
