I haven't had any students admit that they were strippers, but I have had several write about being drug dealers. I remember a particular journal entry in which the student talked about how he didn't want to have to deal drugs anymore (that's why he was in school), but in order to pay for school and support his family, he had to continue. :(comebacknikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00115979340961629983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17577430.post-1158850858667054452006-09-21T10:00:00.000-05:002006-09-21T10:00:00.000-05:00I had a student who told me she worked as a female...I had a student who told me she worked as a female escort.

I was shocked the first time I was at a friend's party and someone casually announced that worked at a strip club. And I'm sure I told my story already about seeing one of my students the one & only time I ever went to a strip club. <BR/><BR/>Having said that, I think that your second argument - that stripping is inherently debasing - is the stronger one. It turns women into things. I'm uncomfortable with stripping because I have trouble drawing a sharp line between it and prostitution.Arbitristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090122079098885856noreply@blogger.com
