THIS KEEPS HAPPENING: Teacher, 39, jailed for 10 years after having sex with 15-year-old student in her car.

A teacher has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for having sex with one of her former students, who was just 15 at the time.

Amanda Watkins’ mother asked for leniency, saying: ‘My daughter is not a bad person, but she is a sick person.’

Watkins, 39, was a teacher at Sheffield Junior High School in Alabama when she was found having sex with the teenager in the back seat of her car in December 2009.

She admitted to police that the pair were engaging in sexual activity, according to the Times Register, and was fired the next month.

You know, some people might think this suggests a problem with public schools.
