A Missouri high school teacher says she has been placed on leave after officials discovered that she was performing on a pornography website to supplement her salary.

Brianna Coppage, 28, who taught English at St. Clair High School, says her teaching days are probably over, but she acknowledged she knew the risks.

Coppage told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was put on leave on Wednesday after being interviewed by two administrators. Her access to school email and other software was suspended while the district investigates, she said.

“It was kind of always like this cloud hanging over my head, like I never knew when I would be discovered,” Coppage said in an interview. “Then, about two weeks ago, my husband and I were told that people were finding out about it. So I knew this day was coming.”

    Also stop making us pay for our own supplies. We can’t write off more than $300 of class materials on our taxes too - maybe she could add some pencils to her routine to make them a legitimate business expense.

        Bruh. I live in a wealthy-ass community, in a wealthy-ass state, and i still bought school supplies for my kindergartner’s class. Like, not for my kid - for the entire class. Shit’s completely fucked. And education here is like 99th percentile.

        I get $300 a year for classroom supplies, etc. can’t spend it on xyz. Can’t buy a personal printer but can buy ink with it. Can’t buy candy/food/etc unless it is tied to a specific lesson plan where that is integral to the lesson and not simply a reward. Lot of it goes to napkins/tissues/pencils/etc. for students.
