    Yes, why not.
  • If she's got no hang ups, and doesn't care about people seeing it, then why not.
    I'd definately think about it, so would alot of others who are honest lol

    She will probably earn more money from the spin offs than as a primary school teacher and besides she will probably never get a job again as a priamry teacher either.
    good luck girl!

    Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:
    Should Jordan take her kit off for cash?

    Jordan is a 24 year old primary school teacher with debt coming out of her ears.!A friend she trusts has asked her to do a one-off glamour shoot for a men's magazine that involves full frontal nudity.!This isn't something she'd ever normally consider and!will shock her religious parents; yet in one foul swoop the fees she's being offered for 'buy-out' rights would more than halve her debts.

    I hate to be picky-picky, Jenny -- and you may have chosen a deliberate mistake because you think it's "foul" for Jordan to take her clothes off -- but that should actually be "one FELL swoop" !
    Expect the worst & hope for the best...

    Absolutely, the opportunity to clear half her debts in one go and put a smile on the face of the readers of said magazine (assuming she isn't minging) she shouldn't think twice.

    It will certainly make for a much more interesting parents evening when the father start giving her knowing grins.

    :D

    Holy cow, no way! Or rather, yes if she wants to halve her current debts and completely flush her entire career down the toilet. A primary school teacher? It would be found out, you can be sure of it. She would be sacked, and no other school would touch her.

    Yeesh, this is a short-term gain and no mistake. And she'd still have half her debts left!
    :TProud to be dealing with my debts :T
  • I would say that Jordan is lucky to have the opportunity to get rid of half her debts. I guess she must be attractive or the chance wouldn't have arisen. Who knows, perhaps if she makes a good job of it, she'll be offered another photo shoot so she can get rid of her debts altogether.

    What's worse, the constant worry of debt hanging over your head, or the worry that someone might recognise you?

    Who knows, at 24 years old, she might have a good few years of earning big money, and then when the work dries up she could still go back into teaching.

    Go for it Jordan - it's your body and if you really can't cope with the stigma, then cut or dye your hair and move somewhere really nice. After all, being photographed 'in the buff' isn't exactly pornography is it...... Man, this is the 21st Century, to read some of the comments on here, you'd think we'd gone back to Victorian times..... "We are not amused!"

    Because of the nature of her job I would say NO WAY unless she undoubting wanting to get fired.

    Saying that, she could earn a hell of a lot of media attention if she chooses to and then further work.

    As a dad I wouldn't mind but I know my wife certainly would!

    Can she be sacked if found out? Anyone acutally know for sure or is this all speculation rather than fact? As a [arent it would not bother me as long as she was a good teacher. There are plenty of teachers out there who do not do glamour shots but should be fired due to incompetence. Well. I guess this is the UK with the lowest rating for child welfare etc. in Europe so we have to maintain these old fashioned dogmatic ideas to keep us at the bottom of the pile.

    I think as long as she wants to give up her primary teaching and become a full time glamour model, then, why not?
