Are teachers allowed to accept alcohol at school as a gift ?

[Anonymous]

Title says it all. It was suggested as a gift idea for a specific teacher. This is for Elem.

Are you stupid?

Do you know them outside of school or are you planning on sending your kid in with a bottle of bourbon risking their expulsion or the teacher's firing depending on whether it is discovered before or after the gift is given?

Who needs to know what's wrapped up and in a bag? Only the recipient, that's who. When we give alcohol, I carry it into the school and my kids come meet me in the lobby and go distribute with "My mom says to definitely open this once you're at home and not at school" - it was cute when my daughter asked if she could wink when she said it.

If you jeopardized my job and my ability to feed my family because you think something is cute you are a terrible person.

I have gotten alcohol as a gift. Any respect I had for that family was gone in that moment.

Why are you so uptight? We give it at the very end of the day, wrapped in a bag with the teacher's name clearly labeled. THey take it home and have a nice bottle of wine. What kind of crap school are you working at that people are going through your things? Maybe you should be upset at THOSE terrible people.

I thought every school had a no alcohol, no smoking policy anywhere on campus.

Nope.

Not even the chocolate filled with liquor from Costco.

Not even a rum cake.

Or a weed anything. Not even a weed smelling candle.

The people who have poor boundaries and sometimes get into my things are called children. They are often found in schools. Their behavior is forgiveable.

It’s not uptight for me to want to keep my job. It’s bizarre for you to be so nonchalant about it.

Sure, that's probably a formal policy. But who'd want to work at such an uptight school where the principal or someone goes through your bags as you leave for the day unwrapping gifts you were given to make sure none have alcohol, or are Cuban cigars or whatever.

You lost respect for a family that gave you an item frequently (and with Emily Post's approval) given as a holiday or hostess gift? That's messed up.

I am a teacher. A gift of wine, discreetly given, would never jeopardize my job.
