Fitchburg teacher's aide in hot water over modeling shots

[alp227]

FITCHBURG -- A Fitchburg teacher's aide who moonlights as a model of sexy lingerie has sparked a debate over what conduct is befitting of an educator outside the classroom.

Many people seem to have no issue with Kaitlin Pearson's modeling portfolio, while others are questioning whether someone who works with young children should be posing for racy photos.

Regardless, Superintendent of Schools André Ravenelle placed Pearson on paid administrative leave early Friday afternoon after the district was anonymously sent a packet containing her modeling photos.

Pearson has been working in one of South Street Elementary School's special-education programs as a full-time classroom assistant for a small group of students since November.

A short note, typed in all capital letters, that was included in the packet sent to the Sentinel & Enterprise read, in part: "Can you believe that this girl was hired to work with special education children in the Fitchburg schools?!!"

7. Going Back To Before The 20th Century When Teachers Were Judged By Their Morals.

Teachers had to pass a morals test until modern times. They had to attend church and behave like they were nuns or priests. They were expected to be totally asexual in appearance and in their behavior.
