Weird Teacher Watch: Jennifer Leigh Clark Busted For Shoplifting

Today's Weird Teacher Watch brings you the story of Jennifer Leigh Clark, a high school biology teacher who hoped to treat herself to a whole new wardrobe -- at a five finger discount. Let's see how well that worked out for her...
 
Almost everyone above the age of 17 knows that you never get away with shoplifting. 

Of course, there is the random exception -- the desperate. The cleptomaniacal. The thrill-seeking petty theft. The marginally retarded.

We're not sure exactly which category Jennifer Leigh Clark falls into. All we know is that Ms. Clark can't be that dumb. 

After all, the 26-year-old works as a biology teacher Osbourn Park High School in Prince William County, Virginia. Unfortunately, it appears that Clark's intelligence doesn't reach far beyond the classroom.

Last Friday, the high school teacher walked into a Kohl's store at around 8 p.m. with the hopes of scoring herself a new wardrobe at the steepest of discounts. Along with the help of her boyfriend, Clark began shoving items into her bag when she was spotted by a security guard who called the police.

After being arrested, authorities discovered over $400 worth of clothing on Clark.

Clark was to begin teaching summer school classes on Monday. But we're pretty sure her academic days are long gone.

She's scheduled to reappear in court on August 31. 

A word to the wise: just because you're on summer break, doesn't mean you're not held to the same standards of lawful decency.
