Dori Myers had a sexual relationship with the boy in numerous locations while teaching social studies at The New School for Leadership and Arts in New York.
The 29-year-old, who is married to a sheriff's deputy, has pleaded guilty to a criminal sex act but will not be stripped of her teaching licence.
But Myers will have to sign the sex offenders register and has been given ten years of probation.
Manhattan Supreme Court heard she has been sacked from her job at the school in the Bronx after entering her plea.
Pleading with the judge not to ban her from the classroom, her lawyer Andrew Stoll said: "There is a possibility that she could teach adults now or in the future and we want to preserve that possibility.
"She still is a talented teacher and has those skills, and I don’t see any reason to destroy her ability to make a living and to contribute to society in a positive way."
Myers was arrested in January after the victim confided in a classmate about their relationship.

Well, I want to ask what do you think would have happened if this was a man who performed oral sex on a 14-year-old in school? Do you think he would have received the same outcome or a harsher punishment?

Well its quite simply what you would call paedophilia. If this is how they view this disgusting act, then I have no idea if it would be different if she were a male.
At my previous school, my sociology teacher (she) was banned from teaching completely after having a romantic relationship with an 18-year-old student. Therefore, I'm wondering if they have different laws or views in America.
Disgraceful [-(

Definitely disgusting.
If this was a guy he'd be branded a monster and have to move to a different city otherwise there would be people with pitchforks outside his house and recieving death threats

Yeah if this was a guy he'd be locked up for a couple years and be tortured in prison.
But where were the teachers like this when I was in school? XD

She will never work with Children again if she is on the Sex Offenders register, she will be teaching adults.
Of course its disgusting, all schools do checks to see if you are registered on the sex offenders, however that is still a farce as you are only caught if you are registered, and not all pedophiles have been caught.

I wish I went to school in America.
To answer your question, if it had been the other way around and the teacher been male - I have no doubt in my mind that he'd have been jailed for 5+ years.
