Turns out teacher doesn't always know best.

Laura Perry, a fourth-grade teacher at Houston's Trinity Lutheran Church and School, set her students up to be pen-pals with a child molester, Newser reports.

Perry's students exchanged letters with Rickey R. Rowlett, while he was in jail on charges that he sexually assaulted a girl younger than 14 from 2008 to 2011. He was convicted on March 22 and guards discovered his letters with the students when he was moving to a new cell, according to the Houston Chronicle.
