Female teacher fired for moonlighting as model

In the last three days two similar stories have emerged about a pair of teaching assistants who moonlighted as underwear models.

One was fired from their scholastic role; the other was given an Armani contract.

Gemma Laird, an assistant at Bloemfontein Primary, County Durham, lost her job after a parent of one of her students found her pictures online.

The Metro reports that Laird was “made to feel like a prostitute”. Laird insists that the school knew of her modelling work when she applied for the job.
