But did the teacher pay her NEA dues? That is the most important thing in US education.

Parents and residents are shocked

Maybe this would have been shocking 20 or 30 years ago. Sadly, I'm not all that surprised.

I'm skeptical that a judge's order to stop drinking alcohol will be very effective.

Witnesses reported seeing the teacher vomit on a field trip and then leave first-graders to wander through a corn maze by themselves while the teacher passed out on a school bus.

She's lucky that those weren't high school students.

They would have probably shaved off her eyebrows and posted it on youtube.

Man if ya fired all the teachers that are drunks you’d need to hire a whole passel of new teachers.
And if ya threw is those that are on illegal drugs man would ya need a bunch of new ones.
Course the N.E.A. would never allow say random testing of those you entrust your kids to.

In before "Children of the Corn" jokes."

BTW, shouldn't it be called a "maize maze"?

The best high school teacher I had and ever met in my entire life used to drink his thermos of coffee during class every day. He drank it black, no sugar, and with a good four ounces of Old Bushmills added.

He had eight children and worked a second job part-time at sears in order to support his family. He was an amazing history teacher. Every test he gave asked for one thing. That was an essay asking to explain in detail, in your own words, absolutely everything assigned during the week. It took him three days of late nights every week just to read and grade the tests.

The teacher is headed for a teaching job somewhere where the state can’t monitor his/her every move. Homeschool.

Ping!.......

BWA! My dad had a saying:

The day I can’t do my job drunk is the day I turn in my badge and gun!

Saddest thing is that if this teacher gets fired, this teacher will sue for unfair dismissal ... and win.

[metmom]

...but sources close to the district told us the teacher was put on paid-leave vacation after coming to class drunk.

Let's reward the guy now. Paid leave makes me sick.

If he is found innocent, his pay can be returned or restored to him. You know they'll never make him pay back what he already has once he is convicted.

“Concerned parents and residents have told Action News that they just want answers.”

Guffaw. Answers. That’s it?
