A second teacher at a high school in Missouri was put on leave after administrators discovered her OnlyFans side hustle.

Megan Gaither, 31, said during an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that she was placed on leave from her English teaching and varsity cheerleading coach position on Oct. 27 after district officials found out about her account on the OnlyFans platform.

    Oh as a teenager reading those books I definitely didn’t enjoy them as much as I do now as an adult. As an adult I 100 percent enjoy reading more compared to my younger years but I still found some of those story’s very compelling.

    ADHD can be a pain in the ass especially when you are being forced to perform in an environment that is basically your worst enemy. I don’t think standardized testing shows who’s smart and who isn’t. It shows who’s better at memorization and concentration maybe. I also hated word counts as well and that why I also liked scientific writing better because it’s to the point and cuts out all the fluff. I love reading the fluff now but not into writing it myself.

      Well yeah, it was admittedly too complicated for me too. I just crammed all the words and regurgitated them in the exams. Doesn’t exactly counts as “learning”, parroting more like.

      As an adult i still can’t focus and keep reading the same sentence over and over and none of that enters my brain lol. Now I use Google TTS to read the Light novels to me, i still zone out at boring parts but I still get the basic gist of it.

        I still do that myself I’ll read a whole page and then realize I have zoned out the entire time and remember nothing. Usually that happens when I’m not as invested in the material. I’m current reading the wheel of times series and am enjoying it. However it has it’s boring or just overly detailed areas that I find myself zoning out more in.
