I have had at least two teachers who were drunk most of the time when teaching. Once in high school, once in college. I'm not impressed by a drunk 2nd grade teacher and I think they should probably be fired, but not criminally charged.

I did too in high school, our geology teacher was always drunk, he only spent half the time in the classroom.

In his defense he was teaching geology

Another Round... is a 2020 black comedy-drama film directed by Thomas Vinterberg... It follows four high school teachers who embark on an experiment to maintain a constant level of intoxication throughout the workday.

Their idea was that the human body is perfect in every way, except that the blood alcohol content is just a little low.

Good idea, but don't get to Windows ME levels.

Well, its immoral but there is no law saying its not allowed, and a basis of democracy is that everything that isn't forbidden explicitly is allowed.

Consuming alcohol in undesignated public places is illegal.

Public intoxication is illegal.

Its not in public, its in a building.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

a public building one might say.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

A building that belongs to the government is by definition still not the public, as the public is defined differently, otherwise people could drink outside in a visible garden/private road/sidewalk wich is not government property.

They either drove drunk, or consumed alcohol on school property; both are illegal. This is just California refusing to prosecute, yet again.

[–] Wizard_Pope 6 points 2 weeks ago

Most likely. But in a rare case of them living nearby they could have had alcohol at home and just walked to school.

Can't afford to lose teachers
