Then what part of her terms of employment did she violate?

Stop asking stupid questions. None of us has the contract. Perhaps the part that said "We can fire you for anything we want," I don't know.

The queation isn't stupid. It is the most significant question about this whole issue.

No one here knows the contents of the contract. However, standard teacher contracts include terms which could be interpreted to require no such activity.

This has been said about 15 times in this thread.

Unless it specifies posing nude, she did not violate the contract.

There's no way you can know that.

Yes I can

True enough, but irrelevant to the discussion since we don't have a copy of the thing. There's been lots of speculation on what it might contain, and what teacher contracts usually contain, but we've been over that a dozen times already. Nothing new to figure out on that front. There's just no more information.

Again: Doesn't matter how you see it. Or I, or any of us. It only matters how the parents of those girls and others at the school see it. If they didn't fire her, some of those parents might get it into their minds to sue, and they'd win. If they did, the teacher might get it into her mind to sue....but if the contract is worded carefully, she'd have a lot less of a leg to stand on, legally speaking, than the parents would.

The teacher made a choice, and that choice backed the school into a corner. I understand their decision. Hell, I even understand hers to a degree. There is no win-win here, so you have to settle for the legally safest option.

My parents both having been teachers, I can say with confidence that a lot of parents can be pretty stupid when it involves the school. They seem to be under the impression that their kids should be able to do whatever they want, that teachers are babysitters, that it doesn't matter what anyone says, their kid didn't do anything wrong, and that if they did it was the teacher's fault that they did it. If parents whined about this teacher not getting fired, it again goes back to the morality bullshit we've been discussing all along. Heaven forbid someone point out what their daughters are actually doing represents something sexual and that they actually are doing it in public, live in front of a crowd.
