Italian teacher revealed as porn queen Madameweb

A school teacher in Italy has revealed that she works after hours as a web-based porn star. Anna Ciriani teaches Italian in the north-eastern town of Pordenone and insists that in her work as a teacher she is a model of professionalism, who wears modest outfits and takes her job seriously.
But now she has publicly admitted that, once she leaves the school gates, she becomes the virtual porn star Madameweb. Her hard-core videos are scattered across more than a dozen websites, and her professional life is at risk of becoming a lot more complicated.
The fact that the school has a star of the adult entertainment world in its midst has been well known in for years. In 2002, some of Ms Ciriani's students stumbled across some of her videos online, printed off hard copies of some of the pictures from the sites and papered the school lavatory with them. The teacher's parallel lives continued with no disturbance but, as her online fame has spread, the balancing act has become more difficult.
Last month, she travelled to Germany for the 11th Venus-Berlin, an international pornography fair, where she proved a big hit. "Madameweb's extempore performance was one of the hottest moments at the fair," the Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported on its website. She followed it up with a five-minute YouTube video in which she appeared completely naked on a bus, on a subway system and walking along a street.
Her reception in Germany did not go unnoticed back home in Pordenone. Her antics were reported by the local and regional press and, for the first time, another teacher expressed dissent. "What is to be said?" a male colleague, identifying himself only as Fabio, wrote on his blog. "Each of us, outside work and in our private life, is free to do what he or she wants free to take whoever one wants to bed. What perplexes me is that Madameweb has a job in which, unfortunately, the private life matters – a lot. It matters for the families, it matters for the school."
He added: "When I meet Madameweb, who has always been very kind to me to the extent that some of my colleagues tease me about it, you would never imagine this is a person who has sex with 100 men at a time, without condoms." Madameweb took the bait, responding with a furious self-defence. "My behaviour at school has always been extremely professional and upright," she declared, emphasising that her clothes were always modest in cut and her behaviour unprovocative.
"We teachers must first and foremost guarantee a good cultural preparation, as well as the growth and maturation of individuals. Values must be transmitted principally by parents. We cannot substitute for a mother or father and become a model for children to follow."
Revealing her real name online for the first time, she added: "It is true I am a schoolmistress but that doesn't mean that what I am in private must change what I am in school or vice versa. I don't publish my photos everywhere but only on sites which are forbidden to minors, in which consenting persons who share desires and sexual choices meet and talk."
Hmmmm....I must say that it's some food for thought. I don't think being a porn star and a school teacher is probably the best combination and not the best example for your students.
That being said, she's not doing anything illegal. She shouldn't be penalized for that. And doing porn doesn't affect her teaching abilities (at least one would expect).
If anything I think it shows how little teachers are paid and what we have to do to make ends meet!
I would probably work at a bookstore though.
Teachers here on Long Island are very well paid, and we have what are called "tenure", and I've seen some really bad teachers get tenure, in which you just can't get rid of them. That being said, it's true there are teachers in other parts of the country that aren't paid that well, I just wonder why they don't make the move here to Long Island. They'd be set for life........In regards to a teacher being a porn queen, I have to admit I wouldn't like it, but whether it's her right to do it, I guess that would be true. She'd have the right to do it. If she can live with her community's disdain, then I guess no legal action should be taken to remove her. It's one of those hot potato issues ;-)

Well, first there's only so many teaching jobs to go around there. In well paid areas it is much more competitive. I know here in Pitt (where the teachers are well paid in comparison to the rest of the nation) getting a teaching job is quite hard because people do want to work here. And also, not everyone is going to want to live on Long Island or the east or west coast.
I can honestly tell you that most teachers across the United States aren't that well paid and you also have to take into consideration cost of living. One reason teachers in places like New York and California are "better paid" is to keep up with the cost of living.
With what I was paid in New Mexico I would not have been able to afford a one room apartment in most places, even though I had a masters.
It's also not always possible to just pick up and move. It cost us close to $5,000 just for the move to Penn from New Mexico. That didn't include putting down the deposit and first month's rent at our place and then setting up all the utilities etc. Luckily we don't have kids.
You also have to think about recertification. Unless you are National Board certified (which takes time, money, close to $2,000, and only 1/3 of the people pass it) you can't just teach in a new state. You have to then pay for the license and possibly take tests to get it. You have to pay for the tests as well.
Even though I have taught for five years, was a school counselor for three and have a masters degree in education and psychology I have to take the Penn State tests that were not required in New Mexico to get my license to teach here. I also have to take a separate set of tests for the counseling license. I would have to do the same in New York.
Goodness knows if I do go back into teaching I will be working on my National Boards.
