A middle school teacher and widowed mother-of-two has been suspended from her job after administrators discovered she is also employed part-time as a pole dancing instructor.

Kandice Mason had been hired at Hoke County Schools in Raeford, North Carolina about a month ago before she received the bombshell news August 16, she told DailyMail.com Monday night.

Mason said the sudden suspension came after horrified members of the school district were made aware of social media videos she posted which featured herself sporting skimpy outfits while making rounds on a pole.

'When I was suspended, I was humiliated... the superintendent, principal and another employee were in a room and berated me for my pole dancing video,' she said.

Mason, who has two daughters, ages six and seven, was still in the orientation process at her new job and had excellent reviews from parents and students before she received the news about her suspension.

'I built great rapport with the parents and their children... I worked specifically with babies and they adored me,' she told DailyMail.com

Mason began teaching pole dancing classes before her husband passed away four years ago. She said her husband fully supported her passion.

'He seen how passionate I was about it, and got me (a pole) for my birthday... it wasn’t till I got a lot better that I purchased a new one that was meant to handle weight and pole tricks.'

She said the seductive hobby has helped her stay fit, reduce anxiety and sleeplessness and provide financial support for her two daughters.

'I pole dance every night... at one point I was juggling work, school and being a mom. The only outlet and time I had for myself was at night. Normally, I’d put my girls in the bed by 8 every night and would dance a couple hours.

'It has been really good for me... when before, I’d be up staring at walls worrying about day-to-day stuff.'

The single mother and her girls recently relocated to Raeford after she departed a nonprofit job in Jacksonville that turned out to be a flop.

Mason said she was 'unappreciated, overworked and underpaid' at the former job and also berated for her side profession.

'Word had gotten out there that I had pole danced as well, and I ended up being treated horribly in the workplace,' she went on to say.

Aside from juggling two jobs and working as a single mother, Mason has managed to obtain three college degrees.

While speaking about her passion for teaching, Mason said: 'I do not want to have to give up... I wanted to make a difference in children's lives as well, but maybe that might not actually be the plan for me.'

Since her suspension, the mother set up a GoFundMe page.

'I hate asking for money... but I do know realistically it is going to be hard for me to find enough for a lawyer, my mortgage, and my girls if I don't think of something quick.

'I have a big heart. I'm always planning and trying to find ways to make the most out of what I've got,' she wrote in the description.

Mason's GoFundMe page raised $115 of $5,000 goal as of late Monday.

She said she is considering using the funds received to start her own studio.
