Your choices are a bit odd. Should she go to jail?

Yes, for a very long time? The article said she could face up to one year in jail. So why not make that a choice instead of "a very long time?"

"Nice..."

I don't care if she goes to prison or not really - probably rather she didn't as it won't actually serve any purpose. However she should definitely be banned from ever teaching again.

I wonder how common this is exactly.

At my high school for example there were always rumours flying of the biology teacher sleeping with one of the 16 yr old girls.

I don't think it's that common if you consider the number of schools, students and teachers in a particular country. Saying that, in my High School we knew teachers were having affairs with each other. I remember our music teacher breaking up the vice-principals marriage. And years before I entered that school supposedly a former vice-principal married a student mere months after she graduated.

At my small-town high school, the chemistry teacher/basketball coach (male) was romantically involved with a grade 11 student. No real scandal ever became of it and the two eventually married and had twins. A couple years later, however, scandal erupted when she cheated on him with a then grade 11 kid who was presumably a student of said chem teacher and definitely on the basketball team! Now those two are married and have custody of the kids!

Life is more like Jerry Springer than people would like to admit.

Female teachers having affairs with male students is always less serious than male teachers having affairs with female students. There's a perfectly mundane reason for the double standard - please don't make me spell it out.

Some action has to be taken against this particular teacher because she's broken the law, but a custodial sentence would be ridiculous, I feel.

Says the guy with a very dubious-looking avatar of a middle school girl?
