29 y.o. Japanese primary school teacher got reported as he had worked at Fuzoku shop for men.
Under the Japan’s law, public service workers are not allowed to have a side job. He got reported not because he worked in Fuzoku but because he had a side job.
It could have been the same even if he worked at seven eleven.

My point being how they found it?
If they met him as his client, I am sure they would not want to talk about it.

In my opinion, if he worked every night and it made him hard to focus on his main job, it would be a problem.
But he said he wanted to make extra money.
Do you have any idea how little school teacher get paid every month?
it is a public service so they are able to receive a good retirement and pension once they retire but actual monthly salary is cheap. And do you have any idea how hard they have to work? They go to work in early morning till late; my friend sometime gets a call from her daughter’s school teacher at 9pm, from school.
My teacher friend constantly gets a call from local police station every time her students cause trouble. She spent her last b-day looking for her lost student in a whole town by bicycles!
They often loose their weekend if they are staff advisor to a club and they don’t get paid overtime.
If you require their loyalty, you should treat them better...

I would guess the pay for public school teachers is low across the board around the world.
My favourite teacher in primary school left her job after three years because it was tough to make ends meet. She worked as a maid in London. No news since then, but I always remember her as a kind and generous person.

Maybe the worst profession in Japan as far pay per hour goes. No summer break holiday either.

That's just sad. Considering how important a teacher is, you'd think society would place a bit more value on them and their wages.

He should have started making meth instead, yo.

Maybe in Albuquerque. Hello, Mr. H!

This always makes me mad. We put doctors, lawyers, athletes, etc. on pedestals, yet it’s the teachers of the world that shape the future. It’s the teachers that turn kids into productive members of society and yet we treat them with seriously low pay for what they do. When factoring in their total hours worked for the salary they make, their hourly rate is horrible. And on top of that, what about all the shit they have to put up with from these helicopter parents nowadays. What’s it going to take to get them paid more and treated better? I don’t know, our current society is stupid.

Sorry, I had to rant a bit. Land mine topic for me.

The public school teachers in Japan are treated like crap.

I'm surprised anyone accepts the job, let alone stays with it.

Yeah, I can understand young kids going to college and wanting to be teachers. But cannot understand what makes them stay after the first week when they understand the job sucks as bad as those doctors' who work in public hospitals in countryside.

At least the docs are getting paid a decent salary while the teachers would actually make more money flipping burgers.

Over a decade ago the direct-hire foreign instructors (not JETs or dispatch teachers) working for the Osaka prefectural BOE were making about 300k/month with no annual bonus, and I heard that starting Japanese teachers were making significantly less per month (like under 200k) but with a tiny, shitty little bonus at the end of the year. Here stateside in 2019, starting teachers are making roughly $40k/year.

Why anyone in his/her right mind would dedicate a lifetime toward public education is beyond me, particularly when you could work as an assistant manager at your local 7-11 and make double what a starting teacher makes and you didn't even have to drop $100k on a college degree. But you can largely blame the powerful teachers' unions for situation, at least here stateside. Rather than allow stricter standards for merit-based promotions and higher salaries for the truly dedicated and talented educators, they prefer keeping absolute shit pay for every teacher, good and worthless, to keep the numbers up and the union dues rolling in.

But I'm grateful for the opportunities afforded me as a product of the public school system. Nowhere in the world, at any decent private institution, would I have been allowed to get rowdy, drunk and high on campus on a daily basis, have my girlfriend blow me behind the locker rooms with a Bud Light in hand and then do burn-outs in the school parking lot before returning to class to play Texas Hold'em for cigarettes. I can honestly say I loved going to school every morning.

Whoa, interesting headlines all along in the "related articles":

Sex with colleague in school - high school teacher was fired "I was a bit too excited."
Female police officer who carelessly left her handgun in toilet - also turned out to have moonlighted as fuzoku girl.
Doctor arrested for touching man's body who slept in the same futon.
"Don't come here on Saturdays" - childcare staff harassed a child despite father complained repeatedly
Drunk deputy schoolmaster invaded public bath for women and urinated - at ryokan he stayed with students for school trip

Once upon a time, public school teacher in Japan was a popular job with low workload, generous leave days entitlement (was very rare in the public sector) and relatively good salary - all of which were protected by mighty Japan Teachers Union. Now, it's a far cry from the days in the manga "Be Free".
