While the District Attorney’s Office agrees that it is highly inappropriate to teach while intoxicated, it is, unfortunately, not illegal.”
This has the “There’s ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball” energy to it and I love it.
Alcohol, a common cause of and response to children.
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.
Honestly, can’t blame em.
My art teacher was a classic stoner trope.
I had a physics teacher who died of alcohol poisoning a couple years after I graduated.
He has the red nose of alcohol abuse and everything in class all the time. I thought that was bullshit but it isn’t!!!
My 9th grade homeroom teacher had a fifth of Jack in his drawer and frequently smelled of booze.
Real nice guy, though
Wine mommies have entered the chat.
I’m so tired of all their wining
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 should track down my 2nd grade teacher to buy her a drink, and maybe apologize.
Time to setup a bar in the teachers lounge.
I’m surprised this doesn’t fall under negligence, the teacher is responsible for the children in the classroom.

I wasn’t aware california had a general negligence law
I have no idea that’s why I’m surprised.
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
Thanks! On my watch list now
Given the state of modern parenting, it’s almost mandatory…

Then you get a different shotgun coming into class and it’s not so fun
Is there any other way?
It might not be illegal, but being drunk on the job is a legally valid grounds for dismissal. Unless they have tenure… Then I’m not sure. 🤔
Would you rather be fired or be fired and facing legal consequences?
This is the opposite of a cool crime
Based.
