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.”

Teaching was for the health insurance
Being a real teacher on OF might raise her rates too.
Being a teacher on the news for having an OF definitely will increase her traffic.
Still waiting for a link.
Better sex ed than the Missouri average in all likelihood too
That’s fucked.
Turns out getting fucked on camera is more profitable than getting fucked by the school district. The hours are probably better too.
Plus you get to choose who’s doing the fucking

Don’t forget wfh
Better coworkers too, I bet!
I’m sadly surprised she was making that much as a teacher.
Teachers are decently paid in some places, like where I live, but, yeah, definitely not in a conservative place. Don’t want to attract any highly educated people and have to keep the ones who do it for the love of teaching so destitute that they don’t have the energy to put into fighting the political crap.
It really depends on the district. I value having good schools for my kids so I live in a district where they are making about twice that.
Holy shit, teaching was her side hustle
it was source of health insurance, probably.
I doubt most creators on OF make that much. You are just a drop in the sea of coom.
I just can’t believe she kept reaching…
Are these numbers before or after taxes?

Thank you. 42k pre-tax for a teacher is abysmal.
i bet that school district is soooo embarrassed that they pay so incredibly poorly that their teachers have to sell their bodies…
You know, if these schools are going to refuse to pay teachers enough to live on, maybe they shouldn’t be so uptight about where those teachers get their supplemental income from. 😒
M… maybe we could try paying teachers enough so that they don’t have to open an OF to make ends meet?
What frustrates me is schools are frequently very willing to spend money on sports related expenses. A librarian left a a New Hampshire school $4 million dollars. They spent $100,000 on the library and $1 million on a new scoreboard (source) In the vast majority of states the highest paid employee is a football coach (source). Local governments don’t really care about education and because local governments are typically elected to me that means American citizens don’t really care about education either.
The school you’re talking about is my alma mater, what they did is even worse then you describe.
That librarian was neurodivergent and left his savings to the university at which he worked with no specific restrictions.
The university execs wanted to use the money on sports, and directed the advancement department to create a narrative to support that decision. They found a mention he enjoyed watching sports at the nursing home during the last months of his life.
Close friends said he wasn’t interested in sports at all - he loved numbers and statistics, and at the end of his life at a nursing home the only numbers he could get to were baseball statistics. He couldn’t care less about the sport, he just liked the math.
UNH rewrote his life and personality to justify spending his gift on athletics.

That’s a frustrating read but I’m glad I got to see a glimpse of the man who was just a random bit of trivia rattling around in my head. I’m going to try to remember Robert Morin as a kind man who loved learning and generosity. To me those are wonderful traits. And I’m willing to bet that the name Robert Morin will live on in that library for generations to come. Thanks for posting this.
Even sadder considering UNH is known for having a strong teaching program, whereas no one ever talks about their sports.
Many Americans don’t recognize the importance of paying attention to local politics, even when they care about education.
We’re at a point where, in my opinion, that’s analogous to someone smoking and chewing tobacco their whole life and then being shocked when they’re diagnosed with cancer.
I know that comes across as sanctimonious and that isn’t my intention I’m just frustrated with amount of willful ignorance in our society.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I agree. I just felt the need to point out that there are still a great many people who value education but are not part of the solution, due to ignorance (ironically), apathy, or hopelessness.
I understand. I think I misunderstood slightly. I apologize if that came across abrasive.
No, not at all! No offense taken, just felt the need to clarify, like I said.
One is a real physical addiction, the other is willful obstinacy.
I think the surprise is the key element being compared
I don’t know of any addict of any substance, including food, who is surprised. I’m sure it happens, but in my underserved area, living to seventy or older is the real surprise.
I don’t know of any addict of any substance, including food, who is surprised.
That’s the point being made - it’s as absurd as an addict to a known cancerous substance being surprised at getting cancer.
It’s worse than that. A lot of school boards are run by right-wing assholes because a lot of Americans are very concerned about education in the sense that they want to prevent children from learning anything about how the world actually works.
I’ve seen worse over ~15 years of nonprofit management. Not that this isn’t bad. I’m just saying it gets much worse.
Wow, I’m not going to lie. Out of sheer morbid curiosity I’d really be interested in seeing how that sausage gets made. You should consider keeping a journal and maybe writing a memoir someday. A kitchen confidential for nonprofits.
Here’s some of my most recent ones, they piss me off:
-
One useless parasite who hasn’t done any work in 15 years is on the payroll at $300K/year. Literally did no work for years. That person’s work now consists of organizing meetings (no more than 1 per week, often with months of no activity).
-
Similarly, one person who retired 10 years ago is still paid quarter time, which works out to about $120K/year. His sole activity is attending meetings once every few months.
-
Routine “housing allowances” paid to higher ups. $100K for a mortgage went to a completely worthless individual.
-
Higher ups expensing dinners for themselves with literally $200 bottles of wine. Any fucking occasion, gotta throw a party - “retirements”, someone joining, someone leaving, fucking birthdays, so-and-so won an award, etc.
-
edit: nepotism. Oh my fuck, the nepotism. Hire so-and-so’s spouse as a “consultant” when I myself could have done the work for no extra money and 1/50th the time. But no, let’s waste $60K on a worthless consultant that has no goddamn domain knowledge and possibly fewer than 3 firing neurons.
It comes down to flagrant elitism and rampant entitlement. “We deserve it because we’re so fucking awesome”. And it gets worse than what I’ve written here. I manage a fucking nonprofit that’s supposed to help people in dire need, people who will die without us.
I honestly think a publisher might be interested in a book like this. You should consider it. They have people to help with the writing and if you’re ethical and give a coauthored credit I bet there’s a ghostwriter out there who would love to publish a good old fashioned muckraker with you.
Eh, maybe when I retire. I’m dependent on these assholes for my living. And I’m trying to move shit in the right direction.
Next Christmas season I am just giving money to random homeless people who ask me for it. At least I know 100% of that money will go to them.
I’ve stopped giving charity except to local food banks and schools (and I give the schools prepackaged snacks for the kids). Because I see how the money is used. And the assholes I work for have the nerve to ask EMPLOYEES to make contributions. As if I can’t see all this shit.
Yeah I stopped doing the corporate charity bullshit. No I won’t round up my purchase to some foundation run by a nephew of the CEO. If this matters so much to this corporation they can pay for it.

Americans only care about education if they can win at it
A scoreboard can be an investment though if they can increase attendance at the games.
Education should be a cost to the state, as a tax payer funded human right. It should not be a for profit business
I’m not sure how that fits in this discussion. We’re talking about how a donation was spent. If that donation can be used to generate a stream of money to be used instead of simply used up all at once, it’s advantageous to do so.
I’ve heard that argument. I see the point at least a little. I personally don’t find it convincing. If game attendance is high enough it should be able to fund itself. If it isn’t then I believe those monies could be more productive elsewhere.
People shouldn’t downvote you though because they disagree with you though. You’re just offering your own personal perspective.
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.
I can’t fathom this is real. The US education system is destroyed in that case.
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.
You get $300?! We get $150…
Yeah I mean to be honest this is in an area of florida which doesn’t 100% suck ass money wise for teachers at least.
So when do the school administrators get fired for looking at porn online?
disgusting where would one find this content? solely to support the lady. hypothetically
Time to go support an educator and help defend her rights
Only 59 videos posted to the page and making $8-10k per month?! She must do a ton of private custom shit
She taught English to freshmen and sophomores and made about $42,000 last year, according to the newspaper’s public pay database. She said she’s earned an additional $8,000 to $10,000 per month performing on OnlyFans.
The fact that teachers have to do porn to survive is telling that conservative society is fucked.
The sad part is conservatives will question why she couldn’t live off 42,000 a year!
Because the conservative boomers are all retired, with fully owned homes, and don’t know what things cost these days.
Jfc. I do my best to avoid porn and everything, but who fucking cares? Fucked up priorities.
On the one hand, I strongly agree with you. But when I think about it, she was teaching high school kids who would 100% get access to her videos. That just doesn’t seem like a healthy situation for anyone involved. She sounds in the article like she accepts that she needs to do one or the other.
$42,000/year for a full time teacher is the real story here. That’s outrageous.
Eh, deal with it. I’d rather have a moonlighting teacher than an unqualified one. At least this teacher was smart enough to not settle for $42k/year.

Lol as a teenager who had an attractive teacher for a class, I don’t know if you understand what they’re saying.
Teenagers are kids. Kids are, by their very nature, stupid. If they know said teacher is actively publishing content to an OF, they are absolutely going to find said content. It’s just a whole mess for all parties involved.
Adults should absolutely be able to live their lives, but accept that kids are kids and kids do stupid shit.

What a small world. My social studies teacher was also banging a student. Did yours also end up in jail?

On the surface I agree but these are teenagers. What do you think the chances are of one of them subbing to her account and requesting her to make custom videos for them 😂 I would say pretty damn high. Hell it’s still probably going to happen but at least the kids won’t be sitting in class while watching videos of their teacher getting fucked.

Lots of high schoolers have jobs and bank accounts with debit cards starting at 16.
Removed by mod
Interesting. It’s been quite a while since I was that age, so I don’t really remember needing a parental co-signer. One more thing, supposedly prepaid visa cards work so there’s always that.
Have you ever been around highschool kids?.. They’re definitely going to make it a problem if they find out.
Why the hell would they get access to her videos?
They’re horny teens with a hot teacher. 100000% a teen dream for most that age who are into ladies.
They can be horny all they want, it wont conjure a link to a specific person you dont even know has done any porn.
No, but you can bet their asses they’re looking for the link to their old teacher’s OF now.

I agree. She can’t continue teaching high school or probably even middle school boys once this comes out. She’d probably be fine teaching elementary age kids. There’d be a lot more dads attending parent-teacher conferences so it might even be a positive thing.
Why not? We need to stop treating sex workers like they are subhuman. The fact that parents aren’t monitoring their childrens internet behavior isn’t a reason to limit another person’s career prospects if they chose to monetize their bodies past or present.
As long as the teacher in question isn’t advertising her pornographic career or material to her students then why can’t she continue to teach and earn money on the side as long as she’s not bringing it into the classroom?
Missourah: That’s disgusting, we want to see students on OnlyFans, not teachers.
Teachers should be paid more. When doing any job with kids you must be careful about opening an OnlyFans.
What, do you think shes doing only fans content while at the school?
deleted by creator
Obviously she didnt. Thats the point, why would she need to be extra careful what she does privately as an adult?
That’s disgusting! Where?!
You know what they say. Once you’ve seen one boob, you want to see the rest of them.
If one wanted to view this material to form their own opinion, where would one go to do this? Obviously this would be only for the purpose of confirming that these allegations are accurate and also deciding whether or not this constitutes any sort of suspendable offense.
Seems appropriate…

Hell yeah. We should put all attractive teachers on leave in fact, since high schoolers have a hard enough time navigating society without the added complication of an attractive authority figure thrown in.
In fact, may as well put the ugly ones on leave as well, since those might be some people’s preferences as well.
Eunuchs and robots are out, again might be a kink. Self led learning should go too, since they may be a narcissist and get off on the thought of themselves being in charge.
May as well not teach them, since they may have a learning kink.
I see a huge problem. Since it didn’t involve the school. Or violate anyone’s consent. The school should keep their mouth fucking shut unless they have something to actually criticize her for that’s relevant. Such as her ability to teach. Which isn’t what they’re doing.
But as a Missourian our state embarrassing us must mean it’s a day ending in Y.
Prude stuck up mf opinion u got there.
