Kid Takes Beer to Lunch

A kid accidentally packed a beer in his lunch,reported it to the teacher, and was punished. Good stuff.

Solid leadership

 

This is a shitty deal all around. Nothing else the teacher could do if they want to keep their job. Perhaps the principal could have cut some slack, but their hands may well have been tied as well. Only the director can amend zero tolerance offenses, and they may only be able to do that with school board approval.

 

Is there no room for common sense in the world?

 

Zero tolerance is stupid as hell. It's only to take pressure off wimp ass administrators that don't want to think or take a stand on anything, so that nothing falls back on them.

 

Right thing for the teacher to do would've been to drink it and dispose of the evidence - and good god is that a high school or a small college?

 

The right thing to do would have been taking into the bathroom and slamming it. Or throwing it away.

 

I didn't defend it. However, if it's a policy, it's a policy- right or wrong. You want to keep your job? The teacher has to report it. Now, I'm all for laying this at the feet of the upper administration, but the teacher & principal probably had few, if any, options.

 

With policy as it is, I agree.

 

I wasn't directing that at you but at the stupidity that is zero tolerance. The teacher covered their ass, but I'd say the principal could have just poured the beer out and threw it away, and that would have been the end of it.

 

F*cking unions.

 

I know.

But the administration isn't a part of the union. At least they aren't in TN.

 

i hate to see a good beer just poured out. that's the tragedy here

 

It was Coors Light. No worries about that.

 

i missed that. sigh of relief.

 

Glad to ease your mind.

 

i like good beer

 

Sinner.

 

Should have brought in some MD 20/20. A little bit of mad dog wine with lunch is always a classy touch.

 

Screw top wine's clssiness is only surpassed by a box wine.
