New York, September 28: Parents at a school in New York were stunned when a 30-year-old teacher, who has a Master’s degree in fine arts, revealed she was a former sex worker.
Melissa Petro, a former hooker and stripper, has been teaching arts in a Bronx elementary school for the past three years, The New York Post reported on Monday.
The arts teacher, apparently “well-liked” by both parents and students, has posted online accounts of her previous jobs in Mexico and London, where she had worked as a prostitute earlier.
The attached profile identifies Petro as a “former sex worker, researcher, writer, educator and feminist”. However, parents were shocked when she revealed details about her job.
