Let Her Teach After Doing A Porn Flick?

**MikeD** · 05-11-2006, 08:41 AM

Should she keep her job or get fired?

BTW, link contains a short video as well...

Reidland, KY - When do we forgive people for mistakes they've made in the past? One Heartland community is battling the issue.

"I'm girl from the wrong side of the tracks who's made a lot of bad decisions in life," suspended teacher Tericka Dye.

Through the tears, a confession of what Tericka Dye calls the worst choice she's ever made. "I don't think I should pay eleven years later by losing the one career I found that I love and that I'm good at."

In front of students, parents and our cameras Dye came clean. Eleven years ago she did film a pornographic movie in Los Angeles, but she strongly insists she's changed.

"Anybody who's been in my classroom could tell you how much I love teaching and how much I love these students and that should be what matters more than anything in my past," said Dye.

I spoke with McCracken county schools superintendent Tim Heller by phone Wednesday afternoon. He told me the district suspended dye on April 27th with pay, and after a difficult decision sent her a non-renewal notice on Friday the 28th.

Heller added her presence in the classroom could, "be a distraction to the educational process."

The application for McCracken County Schools and the Kentucky Code of Ethics for teachers says nothing about past involvement in adult fields.

But, Kentucky schools do run a background check run through the Kentucky State Police.

The question is what did she do wrong, the answer, legally nothing.

Dye thinks students could learn a huge life lesson through her mistake.

"I think the students can see, look... I didn't have a perfect life I'm not a perfect person. I'm standing up here teaching you science because I've changed," said Dye.

Hmm. That was tricky. Thread title and poll question were opposite of each other. Count me as a no.

**attgig** · 05-11-2006, 08:57 AM

she doesn't look like she'll be distracting anyone.....

**Merlin** · 05-11-2006, 09:11 AM

While I think she should be able to keep her job, you know by now every kid in school has probably gotten a hold of the video. Teaching at that point will be very difficult.

**Airencracken** · 05-11-2006, 09:22 AM

Why shouldn't she be allowed to keep her job. In this day and age your past is coming back to haunt you more and more, we need to start letting things go. People change. Ugh.

**nickel** · 05-11-2006, 09:50 AM

wasn't there a story about a woman who used to be a prostitute and changed careers to become a teacher? i believe some states don't allow former prostitutes to teach in schools. i guess this isn't totally the same thing, but from the way the article is presented i don't think this past porn flick woman shouldn't be allowed to teach.

**kgsilvas** · 05-11-2006, 10:02 AM

Especially since their "application for McCracken County Schools and the Kentucky Code of Ethics for teachers says nothing about past involvement in adult fields".

**InfiniteNothing** · 05-11-2006, 10:03 AM

Maybe this will help kids pay attention.

**Airencracken** · 05-11-2006, 10:07 AM

Nvmnd. I am unable to read apparently.

**clutchy** · 05-11-2006, 10:07 AM

i've always found it helpful to be honest about things, for some reason if you've engaged in the behavior yourself and changed, it gives you alot more credibility than preaching about it while having not experienced it yourself...

whenever the kids i teach ask me about stuff, i try to be as honest as possible. with teenage drug use and drinking the way it is, it helps to have someone similar to their age telling them that what they did at that age was a mistake and it's ok not to do it... that being said, experience is the best teacher...

**Burzhui** · 05-11-2006, 10:10 AM

she's ok in my book, people do make mistakes, with this one she didn't hurt anyone

**eSDee** · 05-11-2006, 10:45 AM

I'd like to see the tape before I make my educated decision.

**ray** · 05-11-2006, 10:47 AM

Humans make mistakes. It's not like this woman was underage when she made the film and it's not like she's having sex and having babies with her students like some of those sickos we've been reading about lately. But I guess if the school board doesn't like her past, then there's nothing you can really do about it. If I had to make a decision, I'd let her continue with her job.

She didn't commit a crime, she just starred in a porn. She can teach.

Seriously where else can you learn to do the pop shot, right in the face?

**gwilks98** · 05-11-2006, 04:09 PM

Hell, I say let her teach the sex ed class. She's got to be more qualified than the fat old guy that taught our class.

back to topic: at least sales of her video will be on the rise now, and if she gets any profit sharing well.. that's good, right?

here's someone asking for it on ebay.
