Arkansas Teacher Put on Paid Leave Following Prostitution Conviction

LITTLE ROCK – (AP/The Blaze) – A high school teacher in Little Rock was placed on paid administrative leave Friday after school officials learned she pleaded guilty in November to a prostitution charge. “I was scared more than anything else because I was thinking of my son,” Solona Islam recalled following her arrest last October. “If I do go to jail, what am I supposed to do?” Islam says her financial struggles with credit card debt and caring for her 18-month-old son led her to make a poor decision. She has a masters degree and is working on a Ph.D.

Suprised the NEA didn't defend her.

It's too bad that Master's Degree didn't help her to understand how to avoid credit card debt.

Maybe after she gets her PhD she'll understand how to budget, so she doesn't have to lay down for money anymore, unless she wants to.
