Jamie Lynn Spears is studying for her GED

Isn’t that cute? Pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears is going to study for her GED while she waits for the newest Spears Spawn to pop out from her fetid loins.

The 16-year-old pregnant star was photographed in Hammond, La. on Friday carrying a GED book, used to study for a high school equivalency degree.

Spears, who announced last month that she’s expecting a baby, was pictured outside a building that houses both the Tangipahoa Parish School System Adult Education Center, which is a GED preparation site, and the Title I Parent Center, which teaches parents how to help their children learn reading skills.

The star of Nickelodeon’s Zoey 101 previously attended the prestigious Parklane Academy in McComb, Miss., which she had been going to off-and-on for years, depending on her filming schedule. (She studied with tutors while in Los Angeles.)

Just before Thanksgiving of 2007, Spears enrolled at the school full time, saying that she had completed her filming, according to a school staffer. But after Thanksgiving, Spears said she was needed back in Los Angeles. The source says that if Spears had tried to stay, she likely would have been expelled for being pregnant. The school had no official comment.

Well, good for her for attempting to better herself. I highly doubt that big sister, aka Crotchney, is thinking of bettering herself in ANY way (other than figuring out where to pitch her next mental illness fit).
