Unfortunately if this happened in a real school, the staff member would be suspended. Even if they weren't it would be impossible for them to keep a class disciplined. I have some possible happy endings for Nicky. 1 - Leanne (who has also been a sex worker) gives her a job. 2 Nicky leaves the show. About a year later a new character is introduced. She is Nicky with a new name and has had cosmetic surgery.

I know. If she was taking advantage of the underaged then I could understand, but she is not evil just desperate to make an honest person of herself.

@@johntrevy1 Not important. The school isn't concerned about intent of her choices but the effect of them. That's not difficult to understand.

@@danmiller898 What negative effects are there?

@@davidparry5310 Are you being dense on purpose? A school will not want the controversy and negative publicity of a sex worker (former or current) being a member of its staff working with children. Whatever your opinion is on sex workers, there is a lot of prejudice toward them.

@@danmiller898 I suppose what I meant is what negative consequences are there that are not the result of society's stupid stigmatisation of sex workers.

Irrelevant. You can be dismissed or suspended from employment if your actions (current or past) can damage the reputation of the company whether it is a criminal act or not. I'm not saying it's right though Nicky's past as a sex worker can be a big distraction for students, teachers and parents alike. What school would want to deal with that burden? If you want to play this stance that she'd done nothing wrong, her employment contract was grounded on her disclosure of past conduct that could be "unbecoming". She chose to withhold that past.

@@danmiller898 Sure. She shouldn't have lied, but you would have done the same in her place. This is why I am for a social credit system where if you do wrong you can do things to make right on your record. Employers need to understand that people make mistakes.

_"You would have done the same in her place."_ What a meaningless statement. Anybody would have because they are being imposed as Nicky in her circumstances. Whether one would have done the same or not doesn't change the fact Nicky had made a false declaration in applying for her TA role and thus raised questions about what else she may or may not have failed to disclose. An employee who can't be trusted is called a liability. Her position was untenable because of the distraction her past as a sex worker is causing. Employers do understand that people make mistakes but if you drop the Don Quixote ideals, you will understand that not all mistakes are made equally nor do those mistakes have equal consequences. With children (one demographic of vulnerable people) in the care of its employees, an educational institute doesn't have the luxury of its reputation being damaged by innuendo and rumour surrounding the past of its staff.

@@danmiller898 Like I say, this is why I am for a social credit system.

@@johntrevy1 Like I say, you appear to show Don Quixote ideals. Not everybody will share your pseudo-moralistic stances on making mistakes so your proposition sounds like a pipe dream.

I'd say Nicky.

I'd like to think Nicky would wipe the floor with her.

i’d say daisy but we will have to see

I am with Nicky side

Team nicky

I mean saying that they made their choice is a bit of a crock given that most are usually girls who’ve either grown up in abusive households, been sexually abused by their guardians and or are people who left home on their own and don’t have money, opportunity, education and or basic options but to go to sex trade to find work on the street etc. And one of the reasons many have other identities is to avoid being stalked, and or hunted by sickos, predators and or obsessive punters as well as keeping a private life etc.
