Kirsty Buchan, 33, resigned from her post at Bannerman High School in Baillieston, Glasgow, after the explicit images emerged online.
After pornographic pictures of her surfaced online, a physics instructor resigned from her position. Kirsty Buchan, 33, resigned her position at Bannerman High School in Baillieston, Glasgow, after her students started sharing obscene images from her Only Fans website.
That generated a string of irate complaints from parents to Glasgow City Council’s education officials, which led to the opening of an investigation. The teacher left the school before disciplinary actions were taken; this week, the school was in the news because staff were on strike over student mistreatment.
The strike made national news, but all the local conversation has been about Miss Buchan’s other employment, according to a parent who spoke with the Record. Parents have been talking about the photos on Whatsapp as they have been spreading like wildfire..
Physics teacher Kirsty Buchan has resigned from her post at Bannerman High
“She struck provocative positions for Only Fans, but they also left no room for the imagination. While some parents found it amusing, others complained that the positions were simply too extreme.
Previously, Miss Buchan tried to make a living as an actor by accepting tiny roles and marketing herself on acting websites.
She is the last person you would expect to teach science, but she is obviously highly brilliant and had a passion for amateur dramatics, according to the insider. She has been claiming to be wanting to augment her teacher salary with the side job, but she was aware that there would always be a significant chance of being fired.
“We don’t know if she intended to resign right away, but she quickly took down the Only Fans website as it became clear what she was planning. Additionally, she deleted her Twitter account.
Miss Buchan left a profile on the StarNow website, where aspiring actors post their availability for gigs, stating: “I am now working as a Physics teacher and seeking for some extra work on weekends and nights.
“I have experience in a variety of businesses. I have worked in catering, retail, promotions, and I have contributed extra time to a low-budget internet series.
“I am a very bubbly, outgoing person (always smiling and laughing!) and love to try new things. I take pride in doing a good job and I am very self motivated and driven.
“Any job working alongside people or leading a group (especially working with children) is a perfect match for my qualities and skills. My passion is voice acting and I can do several accents along with a range of voices from young to old, male or female. I also love science fiction and any role in a sci-fi series/shoot would be a dream to me.”
According to the website, which she joined 14 years ago, the teacher is 5 ft 5 in tall, 56 kg, and has green eyes. One of the students comments on the instructor’s performance, saying, “Kirsty was a terrific Christmas Elf and Head Elf. Would strongly advise.”
Teachers at Bannerman High are still on strike in an argument about how to address purported safety issues in the classroom.
This week, members of the NASUWT union will be walking out of class because, in their words, “adequate progress has not been made in tackling violent and abusive pupil behaviour.” The union claimed to have made some progress, but the council allegedly warned that teachers would lose salary if they left a lesson where a student was allegedly endangering their safety.
“This teacher was under investigation prior to giving her retirement following the widespread dissemination of entirely inappropriate and pornographic photos,” a spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council stated.
