School Teachers, Moonlighting as Prostitutes? Your Thoughts?  email this discussion to a friend?

The news has arisen today of a young female teacher working at a school here in New Zealand, has also taken up a secondary position in the evenings, working as a prostitute.
Teachers here working two jobs is a commonplace scenario, Teachers are paid very very poorly here in New Zealand, despite the position that they have been entrusted with in terms of educating our children.
Many work at Cafes, or Bars, or even as cleaners in large city office blocks, and no-one bats an eyelid.
However, when one particular teacher steps outside "The Square" and works as a prostitute, the whole country takes a huge gasp and the mumbles start, soon to grow into a roar.
Now I am in no way condoning this situation, but it must also be said that prostitution here is a legal occupation, as bought into law by the Labour Government not so long ago.
So, this "Lady" is doing absolutely nothing illegal, and is "Working" in her mind to earn sufficient income to survive.
What, I ask, would you as parents think if that teacher taught one or more of your children?
Would you scream blue murder and remove your children from the school until the teacher had been stood down?
Would you request that your child be placed in another class?
Should the teacher be stood down?
Or would you simply carry on as per normal?
It should be noted that the teacher is not in violation of any of the terms of her employment contract , nor has she been linked with either students or parents of students.
I have yet to come to a decision myself as to what I would do if my kids were attending that school, I think one of my concerns would be that if the kids were to learn of the teachers (secondary employment) that respect for the teacher (which is important in a class situation)would be hard to gain, if not impossible.
Your Thoughts?

Hypothetically, it would make not the slightest difference to me, but I'm way past the age where it would be an issue. I don't think it would have made any differenece even when I did have a boy at school. But that said, I am right out there sexually, and many of the potential respondents to your question would (and many have already) consider me a depraved lunatic.

So, despite all those things you point out about the legality of what she is doing, I suspect the majority of people will find the whole concept outrageous. Assumptions will be made that make no logical sense, but which are quite common, that if she will do one thing that goes against sexual conventions, she will do others. A typical example is the number of people who seem to put homosexuality and pedophilia together, and claim to fear that a homosexual teacher is likely to molest their children. The facts clearly demonstrate the opposite, that there is no correlation between sexual preference and pedophilia, but that doesn't stop the insane paranoia that appears. I would imagine such people will make the same stupid correlation in this case.

That is so wrong. what if one of her customers are actually her students. it could compromise her work as a teacher in school. any job but that.
