sorry did'nt know a class was needed so a 40 year old would not put themselves in a situation to have sex with a child.

I just realized a mistake in what I wrote about ethics in education that I want to correct B4 someone else jumps on it. Ethics in education is about right and wrong, but it is not about teaching people the difference between right and wrong. I forgot to write "teaching the difference between" in my last post.

Ethics in education isn't about right & wrong, it's about how to behave in a manner that will both help teachers avoid putting themselves into situations where they could be tempted to do bad things or be misconstrued as doing bad things when no maliciousness is intended. She couldn't have been taught right from wrong, but she could have been taught how to avoid putting herself into a situation where she could cause harm to others.

I don't think an ethics class would have helped her. An ethics class is to teach people right from wrong, if she did't know it was wrong to have sex with children you would think the first arrest would have gave her a clue.

Isn't she due back in court today?

I am a teacher, and I can say that what is needed isn't a personality profile or screaning beyond what already exists. You can't tell ahead of time if someone is going to break the law if they have no criminal record. What is not required but is desperately needed is a requirement that all teachers take a course on ethics. Even if a person isn't intending to do something wrong, an ethics course will help teachers avoid putthing themselves in compromising situations.

My opinion, it does say in the Bible to forgive others, but the person must first seek forgiveness. If Jennifer is running around still having sex with the girl, she hardly is asking for nor deserving of anyone's forgiveness. I really wish people would stop making excuses for female sex offenders such as Jennifer. You can't have it both ways: some people say she's such a loving parent and great role model, while others say she was sexually abused as a child and never emotionally developed.

I don't know how you feel but we are POSTING on this site because WE need to KNOW that people are paying attention and watching these "pervert teachers" who come in the FORM of "amazing coach" as the YOUNG girl put it. THESE teachers now days need to have a personality profile completed BEFORE they are EVER allowed to become certified. LET's STOP this abuse from TEACHERS ! It's SICK !!!!

No, she didn't do anything to me or the girls that were in my class.... She was a loving parent and wife to her children and husband, none of us who are now seniors would ever have thought that she could have done this. We are taking this pretty hard because she was our role model. And I am not implying at all that this is ok by any means, she should get punished but as it says in the Bible we need to forgive those who have done wrong. One sin is just as great as another.

Oh, I have no doubt about any shady things going on, it's sad but that's just the way it is everywhere. As long as it doesnt affect my childrens' safety, education and well being, I have nothing to say. I just think this with Burton is disgusting, and embarrasing. And I wonder if all of these other little girls' parents know that they still stay in contact with her? One girl for sure still talks and txts her regularly, well not now. I would take her phone away, and me and coach would have a talk

I totally agree with you. Orangefield is an excellent school however...if you were BEHIND the scenes you would find out there is a lot of "shady" stuff going on within the district that they convieniently SWEEP under the rug !!
Thursday, Aug 20 at 9:58 AM orangefield parent wrote ...
For "my opinion", this is a sick,sick waste of oxygen. She may have been a good coach, but she was probably trying to do to you what she has done to this other girl. And I wonder if you're the girl my daughter was saying that is still in contact with her?! If so, you should be ashamed of yourself! And for the Orangefield haters, they have an excellent school, just seems the person that went to "heigh" school with her didn't learn good grammer or good judgement. I personally never did like Burton

I'm sick of people saying that female sex offenders simply "made a mistake," especially when it is preditory, as is the case with Jennifer. It's not a mistake if you plan it, go through with it, and then continue it.

I would just pray for God to be with the hurt ones in this crime! And pray that God shows her the right way,and maybe they could forgive her in time, not for her but for themselves! This is a sick world now days and all we can do is pray!

yes sweetheart she may have been "your coach" but the person whom you knew as "your teacher" is NOT the person you thought she was. She is a preditor and needs punishment. Are you saying that you "approve" that she could MOLESTED and took a student of hers to bed ? Is that the kind of PUSH you're talking about ??
Wednesday, Aug 19 at 8:57 PM My opinion wrote ...
Yes what Jennifer Burton did was wrong , but she was my coach in junior high and she was an amazing coach and person, she made me the person that I am today and she taught me how to push myself. I am not saying that she shouldn't get punished for what she has done but people need to quit bashing on her. Everyone has done wrong in their lives, granted this was a big mistake, but we all make mistakes in our lives. So just quit bashing her she is human!!

She can't help being gay, but she CAN help seducing a teenage girl into an inappropriate and highly illegal relationship. She CAN also help herself from not continuing to have sex with the girl after she's arrested and ordered by a judge to have no contact with her victim.

I wonder IF Mrs. Burton is sitting in her jail cell asking herself, "was this girl really worth where I am tonight?". And to the person who went to school in "Orangefield"....they obviously didn't TEACH any spelling or sentence structure because yours my dear is lacking !!
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 7:56 PM justsayin wrote ...
Regardless, if you think she is basically a good person or not her actions were with a minor. And if you went to school with her in "Orangefield" maybe that's part of you guy's problem, they apparently neglected to teach spelling there along with any repercussions for your actions

Jennifer obviously has no feelings cause if she did she would have thought of her Husband and childrens feelings before she would have made this horrible decision. She has hurt so many people through this whole thing. This woman is NO victim here, Its her family thats the victim. You eople that want to feel sorry for her, you are as sick is she cause you would be feeling sorry for her children not her. If you want to feel for anyone it needs to be her family

It doesn't matter how good of a person she was, the point is she made the decision to step over the line with this lil girl that she was supposed to be protecting. She is sick and needs lots of help and Therepy. She is a grown woman that made the decision to continue some sort of sick relationship with this girl. My thought is tou play, you pay!!

ALL of you need to STOP and consider Jennifer's feelings....she is a good person who just made some poor choices and YOU all need to stop throwing STONES. I went to heigh school in Orangefield with her and she a good person no matter what all you think of her she is still a person.

For the person asking about the girls parents. Her mother died before she was old enough to start school. There is nothing right about this and the responsibility could be shared by a few people. All involved could use some counseling. There have been many people hurt by this
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 5:20 PM Anonymous wrote ...
The girl is not a victim? Who was molested by her father? Who had no place to stay? Who was seduced by a much older married woman? Who was continually contacted after a judge ordered no contact? Who was the teacher? Who was the MOTHER? If there's a victim here, it's the girl, NOT Jennifer

Jennifer Burton needs intense daily group therapy in prison and weekly sex offender therapy until she can regress from her grooming actions and deverse thinking patterns. Until she can complete therapy, she can change her thing patterns in the long run (years).

anyone who knows jennifer personally knows she is a very caring person. that DOES NOT excuse what she did to this innocent child. jennifer was supposed to be a mother figure to this child, not manipulate and take advantage of her. this is such a sick situation and i hope everyone involved gets the help they clearly need!!
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 3:32 PM Anonymous wrote ...
I will just be praying for the family of Jennifer, especially the children. They don't deserve to have to deal with this and everyone should respect that they may be seeing what you write about their mother. Even if it is an awful circumstance, she is still their mom, and how awful of some of you to make it worse by being inconsiderate of what they may be feeling. Just remember this is able to be viewed by EVERYONE including them!!

Have you not been reading the story about her situation. I dont know how much more inlightened you need. Point blank she deserves whatever she gets for doing this to this child.

Forget her for a moment and think of her own children. She has 2 kids of her own. Her daughter is around the same age as this girl. Lets think about them and how it is affecting them. Its funny that people are only thinking about poor her she made a mistake, whatever!!!

This discussion is not about anything but about this woman that is sick and BAD.I agree that whoever it may be, should never be able get away with this, wether you have money or not. Its one thing to make a mistake, but come on she knows she is in deep trouble and continues to this. I feel so sorry for children growing up in these days and times that adults are not here to protect them.... instead want to put blame on them for what we ALL as adults know better. WE ARE HERE TO PROTECT THEM!!!!!!!

this woman made poor judgement as worst but she is by no means a bad person. but can we think back to the doctor who just go off with probation for all he did to all those little girls and still to this day is out on the streets and still practice medicine uhmmmmmmm..i guess if you have money you can do whatever and get off

How sad it is that any aldult would ever want to mess with a child like this. These are innocent children that need guidance from us as adults. How can anyone say that a child could be at fault, obviously they are not a parent or a very good one.
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 1:27 PM "Children" Watch wrote ...
We as adults are here to guide and protect our children. They only know what we show/expect from them. This was a troubled child, how could she be expected to make this kind of decision? She loved and respected her teacher who rescued her from her homelife. Then confused her by turning their relationship immoral and sexual.
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 1:26 PM AM wrote ...
If I'm not mistaken the accused was the child’s legal guardian and supposed to be the responsible adult. It just so happened that the victim was a student. Story has it that the husband of the accused and father of the child is the person that reported the abuse. This child is a victim and always will be!!!!
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 1:19 PM Concerned Adult wrote ...
Teenagers are immature. They have a long way to go emotionally. We do not know the students home life and background. As a matter of fact, this was a foster child that this teacher was caring for. She has stepped over her boundaries with this child. The adult is the only at fault, the child has been manipulated and brain washed. She is a predator and deserves whatever sentence is handed out. No parole, No contact with children..Never teach again. What happened to teachers as role models?
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 12:54 PM me wrote ...
Is really sad how people can look at a story on the news and just assume the know about how this came about, well i am sorry to tell each and everyone of you, if your going to place judgement then you are no better the ones you talk about! their is way more to this story then you know so you really sould know the facts before you start writing on the internet this is someones mother and daughter don't you think they have been thru enough without have to have your rude words

I have a 14 year old daughter! and yes, I sit down and talk to her every day. Yes, the teacher is at fault, and yes, this young girl holds some blame. But, where are the adults that are responsible for this girl? Why are they not held accountable for her actions? how does a 14 year old girl get to a hotel in Winnie without her parents know where she is? This kind of behavior from a professional adult is inexcusable but parental neglect is worse!!
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 10:59 AM Anonymous wrote ...
have any of you ever really sat down and talked to a 14 year old recently? If not well maybe you should before you throw stones at this woman. Now granted she is older and knows better but by now means can she be the only one to blame. Now days girls like to mess with other girls this way they can experiment and have fun with out getting pregnant. Think about that before you all cast stones.
Tuesday, Aug 18 at 10:13 AM Just me wrote ...
I'm not saying she was right by no means but lest we forget that the student was just as much at fault as the teacher. I believe it was consenual on both parts.The student is just as guilty for being involved as the teacher but you are right, morals should have played a role and the teacher should have known better. Still doesn't make it right.
