A Florida high school math teacher made a miscalculation when she let a 14-year-old drive her to Waffle House while she was drunk, authorities said. Terra Virgin, 32, was arrested Sunday night on charges of child neglect and permitting an unauthorized minor to drive after her car was pulled over in Tampa with the teen behind the wheel. Virgin, a teacher at Freedom High School, had five beers but had a craving for a meal and convinced the teen to give her a ride, authorities said. "The adult that was in the car was quite inebriated and she was aware that the 14-year-old did not have a license,” Steve Hegarty, with the Tampa Police Department, told WFLA. Police said Virgin had an open beer on her lap when she was pulled over. "You can see perhaps what the thought process was,” said Hegarty. "Apparently, she had been doing some drinking, decided she wanted to go to Waffle House. Thought wisely that she was not in any kind of shape to drive, but getting a 14-year-old, who doesn’t have a license to drive, is not a good idea." Virgin was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail and released Monday on $2,250 bond. An attorney wasn't listed. Poster Comment: And she probably wasn't a virgin. And....she's a card carrying member of the Teachers' Union which organization guarantees your child will exit the school system as a certifiable dunce.
