(37,540 posts)Maybe they were tipped off by the poster.
Students also search on their teachers' names. If she was identified by one student, all the students would quickly know, teachers would know soon thereafter, and from there the principals would know. (Would teenage boys troll revenge porn sites?)
Some particularly PR-worried schools troll for their staffers' names anyway, just in case they're acting out or acting up. This works for Facebook pages, but other things can be found. (Never be on a petty principal's hit-list.)
And you can't rule out that it was another teacher who found her. Then word would also spread, whether out of salaciousness, rumor-mongering and gossip. vindictiveness, or out of concern (real or phoney).
Moreover, not all Xian schools are staffed by believers. You just can't agitate against the belief structure or denigrate it. Neutral works just fine in many cases.
That said, the teacher had to resign. At some point you face such an overwhelming problem with maintaining classroom
discipline and respect that you can't teach anymore. Or it may be a problem with parents who raise such a ruckus that it's just not worth it, either directly with you or with the school administration.
If it had been like the teacher who was a swimsuit or underwear model 20 years before you can sort of perhaps laugh it off. "Oh, that, that's when I looked good in a bikini." Naked, not in a professionally-issued source? Nah. She's DOA and needs to make sure the offending graphic is divorced from her name and then get a job elsewhere.
It would also not be as much of a problem if she were a he. Again, seeing the male gym teacher naked would not have the same repercussions as seeing a female teacher naked. Our opinion as to the inherent fairness of the double standard doesn't much matter.
Teaching is a career in which a small group of students or parents can effectively control your destiny in ways that seldom happens in other fields.
