While the District Attorney’s Office agrees that it is highly inappropriate to teach while intoxicated, it is, unfortunately, not illegal.”

    Reminds me of one class I had in high school right after lunch. The teacher was occasionally late getting back to class from the bar.

    Who the fuck calls the cops here? Is that just karen shit??

    Fire the person or put them on a form of suspension, absolutely, but the fuck you think the cops gonna do?? It’s insane the pigs even took her away instead of just escorting off property and sayin fuck off till you hear back from the school admin.

    pigs being pigs I guess

      Id say the arrest came as a response to the drink driving more than the being drunk at work. Sounds like she was smart enough to shut the fuck up and lawyer up.

      She was drunk at work, her car was at work but unless you give them any more information than that the burden of proof is on them. If you admit that you hadnt had anything to drink since last night and literally anyone saw you driving to work BAM they have you. But “I want a lawyer” and say nothing else and they have to prove you didnt pound a water bottle of vodka in the carpark.

      This is your friendly reminder to shut the fuck up when being questioned.

    I’m surprised this doesn’t fall under negligence, the teacher is responsible for the children in the classroom.

    Former teacher here - this would definitely be illegal where I worked. I’m pretty sure as a teacher you’re essentially the legal guardian of all the students and this would be tantamount to endangerment. I know our teachers contract also forebode being drunk or under the influence of drugs while working.

    Highly recommend the Danish film “Druk” where a bunch of teachers experiment with day drinking
