As a teacher myself, I have got to say that I feel this woman has not gotten a fair shake. She should be tearing the union rep and new one if those photos were anything but porn. Art and nudity go hand in hand. Always have. Furthermore a teacher should be allowed a private life. The most disturbing thing to me is that she was considered a good teacher before the scandal. Now there will be one less good teacher in a country that needs all it can get. I do not envy teachers in public schools in America. As an American and a teacher I dont even consider those jobs. They just arent worth it. If you are going to accept the pay that does not reflect your education, the long hours(if you believe that summer vacation is actually vacation you are out of your mind), a society that is pretty much actively hostile to you, and parents who more and more depend on you to do their jobs, then after all that you cant go home and expect privacy for your rare free moments? !@#$ that! But thats just my opinion.
